That’s why I said I’d be more impressed if it could do Arabic (read right to left), Traditional Chinese (read top to bottom and a MASSIVE number of characters), and Japanese (read top-to-bottom w/ secondary-movement right-to-left OR left-to-right w/ minor-movement top-to-bottom.)

Plus, those three languages have vastly different roots than English.

Don’t worry. It’s like babelfish. Sometimes the translation makes odd sense, but at least you can interpret it to “common” english. Look at the one at 44 seconds in: “Tongue Bolivian with a sauce spicy of anchovies”. The spanish means nothing to me, but the translation, I would guess, means “Bolivian beef tongue in a spicy anchovy sauce”.
