I never can get that name right. I said U Clue it to Stalin once he got annoyed.

I'd make up my own language.....and then tell her to figure it out.

I have to write a letter to her anyway. You guys are giving me ideas.
I should write something in 5 languages I have some familiarity with spanish, french, german, hungarian and english. Haha she'd get a kick out of that, but then I'd get a complete letter back in Mandarin or Taiwanese then I'm screwed. Oh I know I can use Swabian words and confuse her since she only knows High German dialect. ah ah

Or better yet just use American slang, she'd be clueless and I'd have to explain the whole letter over msn or yahoo phone. lol

So its accurate? I know the german to english click goes to babelfish which I know isn't the best. The Hungarian one seems more accurate though.

I can't speak to it's accuracy on all languages but vietnamese is pretty good - i was able to get the jist of an indonesian email i got the other day and apparently people seem pleased with the chinese from the feedback here.

The Babel fish is small, yellow and leech-like, and probably the oddest thing in the [a href="vny!://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universe" title="Universe"]Universe[/a]
i wonder how they taste off the barbq with some dill?

The Babel fish is small, yellow and leech-like, and probably the oddest thing in the [a href="vny!://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universe" title="Universe"]Universe[/a]. It feeds on [a href="vny!://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brainwave" class="mw-redirect" title="Brainwave"]brainwave[/a] energy received not from its own carrier but from those around it. It absorbs all unconscious mental frequencies from this brainwave energy to nourish itself with. It then excretes into the mind of its carrier a [a href="vny!://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telepathic" class="mw-redirect" title="Telepathic"]telepathic[/a] matrix formed by combining the conscious thought frequencies with [a href="vny!://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nerve" title="Nerve"]nerve[/a] signals picked up from the speech centres of the [a href="vny!://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brain" title="Brain"]brain[/a] which has supplied them. The practical upshot of all this is that if you stick a Babel fish in your ear you can instantly understand anything said to you in any form of language.

Thanks  :)

  Although those are bad really, I always used translations for Spanish class. lol (only because I thought of French and then in French class started talking in Spanish. Oh, that was horrible should of just took German, since I already was exposed to it.)
