		This chronic leakage of sense and certainty is often held to be a failing of Babelfish's, and a grievous one.
		Portuguese, it turns out, is not one of Babelfish's strong points, for reasons having nothing to do with the relative difficulty of the language and much to do with the relative insignificance of Portugal within the European Union, whose translation-intensive bureaucracy has long been Systran's bread and butter.
		Babelfish and other avatars of the machine-translation dream aren't going away anytime soon; the logic of communication in a global network requires their shambling presence among us.

		Babelfish will then act as a virtual escort to give confidence once they start their journey, with real-time location information and guidance delivered through their mobile phone screen or via the necklace device.

		The 'BabelFish' is a fish that translates speech from one language to another.
		Most commercial language translation software is pretty bad -- but there may be a better way.

		This morning she put on her smarmiest ingratiating smile, last displayed during her interview with Sonia Gandhi, and announced: "Urban Indians LOVE Bush." It was a moment of wonderful irony with the camera crews inconveniently panning over throngs of Muslims, students, gay rights activists, NGOs, commies and other indignant protesters in Delhi.
		A rallying cry for all of us socially dysfunctional people who are better with their pens/keyboards than with the spoken word (though this does not mean our written output is necessarily good).
		Of all the demons that can assail mankind, the strangest may be this: the fear that one's buttocks are made of glass, and might break if sat upon.

	BBC - h2g2 - Babelfish, the
		(1) The 'BabelFish' is a fish that translates speech from one language to another.
		(2) The online "Babelfish" is a service from AltaVista: http://babelfish.altavista.com/ - Babelfish and similar services tend to offer such a low quality that people find their results funny.
		They can therefore be used as toys, for example translating a text to another language and back; some people try cycles of several languages or iterate to a fixed point or a limit cycle.
