There's no substitute for skilled translations. I've got 3 of Dante's Divine Comedy ATM, 2 are great & add to EO but the other is not. Still, I think there's always room for new tech to improve communication. Chinese local whose mum is visiting has a dedicated gadget for her, better than phone.

Surely it's not all bad. We can't learn all languages to fluency. I've got 3, plus 4 to tourist level but no Asian languages except Indonesian. This would help on a plane to China or Thailand.

Dogs are the same. Phase the new feeding time in, with 10 minute delays for a couple of days, then another ten for a couple of days. And play some rousing Wagner to drown out the piteous mewing.
