Great we are more than a century ahead of schedule for Star Trek universal translator [1].

Joking aside, this will be very beneficial software if it can work seamlessly in real-time for countries like Japan who can't speak English, and France who won't speak English.

Hi, I made a non-local version that supports translation to other languages.

Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.evergreenl... iOS: https://apps.apple.com/app/3po/id6503194251

p.s. I contemplated calling it Sato, ended up using 3PO as the name. :-)

thanks. Looking into crash log. I am working on better support for different dialects (e.g. different flavours of Indian and Chinese, etc.) Version 1.1 should come out soon.

That would be the end goal (very far :D). But yeah, joking aside, I aim to make the translation better and better as technology advances, the current level is a usable start but maybe one day it will be truly seamless.
