{European Translation}[7th May 1970]


[Redbook1:154][19700507:2045]{European Translation}[7th May 1970]

8.45pm

            The real breakthrough for Europe, the thing that will make it a reality to be desired by the greater mass of people, will be the cheap pocket translator of basic typed and spoken language -- i.e. in symbols and sounds, for input and output.  I should think that it is about ten years off in that version -- one capable of handling, say, thirty different languages in one model.

            It might well, incidentally, act as its own audio-learning system: constant association by the use of certain words would at length become recognisable.
