A small gadget already exists. It looks like a pocket calculator. At the touch of a button it tells you how to say simple words in four different languages.
But it is very limited.
The problem is that a computer cannot think for itself. You can teach it words, you cab teach it grammatical structures. But how, for example, do you teach it to interpret a figurative use of language?
Imagine a spokesman at the United Nations: 'My President is hungry for news'.
The computer translation might be: 'My President wants to eat the newspaper'.
