Google sets out to make a phone that will translate different languages

Google is hoping to create a phone that can translate foreign languages. It would mean that two people speaking different languages could understand each other over the phone.

Google already has a program which translates text from one of 52 languages into another.

Plus they’ve made a voice recognition system where a person can search on the web by talking into their phone rather than typing on a keyboard.

Now they want to combine the two technologies to make the translator telephone.

Find out more on the Science page in next week’s First News.
