Douglas Adams' Babel Fish one step closer to reality?

Language translator Pilot fits inside your ear to translate in real-time | Daily Mail Online

If trying to order dinner or find your hotel abroad fills you with fear due to your abysmal grasp of foreign languages, don't panic.

A forthcoming in-ear gadget is claimed to be able to translate speech like the Babel Fish in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, or the Universal Translator gadget in Star Trek.

The system, dubbed the Pilot, comprises two earpieces to be worn by two people who do not speak the same language and uses an app so the duo can converse with ease.

Let us never again confuse the creator of Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy with the dude responsible for punishing the world with Dilbert.
