In China for Olympics? use Jajah Babel

Jajah have released a very nice translation engine which is available by just dialling a number in USA/UK/Australia.
Jajah Babel
Jason Kincaid over at Techcrunch has given it a test drive and it definitely gets a thumbs up.
“With help from IBM, JAJAH brings down the final barrier to global communications with JAJAH.Babel, a revolutionary real-time translation service that works on any phone.
JAJAH.Babel is the first of many translation services that we will be bringing to market. The vision of JAJAH.Babel with IBM is to offer a global product to enable consumers to unleash the true power of global communications”

Now the only thing missing is a Chinese number
Well your wish is my command
If you need to do translations from China whilst visiting for the games just dial local Chinese number 215-129-4632 this should cost nothing more than a local call.

    Excellent stuff, but people should have a backup plan. Things can go very wrong with automated translations. Here is a great example of a restaurant in China, so I’m told, where it would appear they used babelfish or similar to do the translation…
