Google Translate helps make the world smaller. I can use
automatic translation in my browser to read web pages in
other languages.
When I search for something, however, I only see results in
the language that I used for the query.
For example, if I search for a legend of a talking ox, I'll
get
different answers if I search for that in English or in Chinese.
If I could search once, and get results in many languages, I
think that would improve multi-cultural communication
around the world.

A much better idea [8th of 7, Nov 10 2017]

Welcome to the Halfbakery, [peterburk]. Wear these square brackets with pride. There are many like them, but those ones are yours. |
|
| |
Because it goes totally against the idea of compelling all foreigners to learn English ? |
|
| |
Acknowledging their funny foreign jabber merely encourages them, which is bad and wrong. |
|
| |
Oh, and as [MB] said, welcome. Don't worry, although newcomers do get a certain amount of hazing from the residents, there is always a "honeymoon" period during which errors of spelling, grammar, or technical detail are generously forgiven ... |
|
| |
Right, honeymoon over. Bring forth the tank of preserved prunes in syrup, and the armadillos... |
|
| |
Welcome new recruit. Say hello to Max and 8th. They come
as a type of quantum entangled duet. It's my job to keep
them in order. [someone has to do it] |
|
| |
And allow me to introduce the Halfbakery's answer to Madame Cholet, [xenzag]. |
|
| |
It's time for you to return to the hen house....it's getting
dark and mother goose will become quite cross. [they
respond very well to "farm talk", especially if you can do
the noises for them] Just never mention Max's nether
region rash..... shuussshhhhh - the last thing we need here
is another egg laying strike. |

I wanted this idea just the other day, though I can't remember
what for. [+] |
|
| |
You don't want to steal and leverage from other cultures, do you? Right then [+], good idea to push the envelope for humanity. |
