While in Taiwan before this month , my beginner test in vain to explicate in pantomime that he wanted whatever useable tea might help oneself with his kidney stones . I pulled up AltaVista ’s Babelfish on my cell phone and had it translate “ kidney ” into Chinese case . The untried Chinese teen sold us what appeared to be a very large bag of hash , but he point to his sides while doing so , and thus , we assume , understand .
A group calledFlickr hackshas developed something of a general translator that would have avail in such a state of affairs , wherein you typecast what you want to do , line up , say or deplete and a series of relevant photos are handily returned to you . The “ Visual Dictionary , ” as they call it , is the perfect style to use you web - capable prison cell speech sound , specially while traveling overseas , or to the Deep South .
