Is There Much Of A Market For A Universal Translator?

Microsoft has an impressive new universal translator demonstration - Chief Research Officer Rick Rashid shows a real time translation of English (voice) to Chinese (voice, via text), with the interesting twist that the translated language is spoken in his own voice. Rashid writes about it here, and there's a video. More here. This is a product that just naturally resonates with people. We've all seen Star Trek's universal translator, and translating devices are common in science fiction. It's a cool feeling to imagine speaking with someone who doesn't share your language.
