This makes me want to trade in my iPhone for a droid. The ultimate translation app from our friends at Google Topeka [1].
Google Translate for animals means I’d never have to guess what’s hurting my dog (she’s limping right now after her walkabout yesterday) and maybe I could find out why she likes to smear cat doo around her neck like a necklace.
Google may have made its money in search, but this program has implications beyond even, well, Al Gore’s invention of the Internet.
Watch the video:
There are rumors swirling that the next brand extension will be Google Translate for voters- play any politician’s speech in- and it will cross-reference it with Google public data explorer [2], run expert analysis against leading authorities on the web and spit out the most likely meaning.
It’s currently in pre-beta, using the a top-secret code name: but around the googleplex- they just call it by it’s more popular name: Bullshit detector.
Release is scheduled for April 1, 2011

Google Voice to text translation from my inbox: ‘Hi, Now it’s a baby on his behalf. When you get my message from you about the the wet in, work out around the float, right fat. ‘
It’s great! I don’t even bother to listen to the voice message anymore because it would probably make about as much sense as the translation.

This was an April Fool’s joke, wasn’t it?
