It doesn’t have the convenience of a Babel Fish, but this is about as close as we can get with modern technology.  Sakhr, a company specializing in English/Arabic translation which serves such clients as the U.S. Department of Defense and Homeland Security, has revealed a demo for an application you can’t yet have.  Like most of our other innovations these days, the app has eery overtones of Star Trek technology:  specifically the Universal Translator in this case … which just goes to further prove that indeed William Shatner invented the modern world.

… but here’s the rub.  It’s just a demo.  You can’t have it.  Sorry.
