Ars Reviews Skype Translator

Esra Erimez writes Peter Bright doesn't speak a word of Spanish but with Skype Translator he was able to have a spoken conversation with a Spanish speaker as if he was in an episode of Star Trek. He spoke English. A moment later, an English language transcription would appear, along with a Spanish translation. Then a Spanish voice would read that translation.

    The translation went well, but...

    The first thing that Peter heard was "Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die."

  2. I tested this with the Italian translator by Kittenman · · Score: 3, Funny

    I noticed that once I cut off the video stream, the meaning of what I was saying changed completely.
