And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech… And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth. And the Lord came down to see the city and the tower, which the children built. And the Lord said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do; and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do. Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another’s speech.
And it came to pass, that an I-phone app undid the confounding work of God.
Once again, now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do.
Behold
Doomed.

No machine can translate a language perfectly; It's probably as accurate as Babelfish – which can produce hilarious translations.

While it does not translate perfectly, I find the fact that it visually transforms the text in front of your eyes to be quite remarkable. Ooh la la.
