Wow!...soon I'll be able to 'phone my mate in Glasgow

I doubt the technology will be that advanced Garry EricT

I don't think the Universal Translator off the Starship Enterprise is that advanced

I can just imagine the server on meltdown when a Glaswegian 'phones a Geordie

Imagine it as a conference call with a Scouser and an Irishman from the depths of Belfast added for good measure

It puts things into perspective doesn't it. Some things are never gonna work

To really put it to the test you could include Stanley Unwin(remember him?) into the conference EricT

Not sure it would work in France either - especially if the kids were speaking in 'Verlan' (its some letters or even the word backwards).
Parisienne & Marseillese could give it problems too - similar to Glasgow - Geordie methinks, & some of our locals speak Occitain french.
How would it cope with text speak???

I wonder how well it'd handle some folk up in the Appalachian country.

.... meaning, those who don't have consonants in their names.

With difficulty I'd wager!
