Someone hopes to have a Siri in their own way. Haha.

Experimental programs that use speech recognition to perform real-time language translations have been kicking around for years now, but Microsoft took the idea to a new level at its TechFest 2012 event last week.

Like other translators, the software developed by Microsoft Research allows you to talk to it in your native tongue and send it out the speaker of a device as another language -- Spanish, French, Chinese, or such.

PC World

I'm doubtful at how accurate the translations will be but I'm excited to see the progress of the technology since it would really be of great use, especially when you travel a lot in nations where English isn't exactly the main language spoken.
