Welcome to Babel fish

Fans of the Douglas Adams six-part trilogy Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy will remember the  Babel fish. When inserted in the ear, the Babel fish allowed the recipient to understand any and all languages. Note that understanding the languages does not necessarily lead to understanding the person.

Anyway, we're on our way. Using Google Translate on my phone, I can type a phrase in English and have it return a credible spoken version of the translated phrase.
