Voice Translation

First time when I came to France, I was thinking of some devices to translate my voice into French simply because French (and only French) is everywhere from restaurant to department ... ... umm. I had neither a good knowledge of French nor such devices. Thus, I would have bought some devices that recognize one's voice and play into target languages if they were available.

I'm aware of the difficulties in translations.  However, like other fields, this area is also making some progress. As an example, Google's Android phone application, shown in following video, understands and translates a person's voice in English to French. It's interesting, isn't it ?
