I have been doing some searches lately for an Italian painting. I topped out what I could find on the English sites so I started to search the non-English sites. First I had to look up the name of the painting in the other languages for the most efficient search. There are a lot of wonderful tools out there on the web that do free translations. I used the free Babel Fish Translation tool. (If you haven't heard of Babel Fish, it was a little fish that the characters in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy put in their ears so they could understand other species in space.)
Although many people in the world study and speak English, this world is far from having one common language. Europe has always fascinated me because the countries are so small, but the differences in language are so great. What does the future hold? Will we ever speak one language? Will we have cool tools that allow us to communicate seamlessly with people who speak other languages? What features would a tool have to be to be successful.
