It’s pretty damn random sometimes how ideas are born…..

A couple of nights ago I was watching some junk on teevee, some bumb blonde from Birmingham who worked as a lap-dancer was considering doing some adult modelling and went to see a shoot being filmed.

She seemed to look down her nose at the folks working in adult which is funny as she’s a lap dancer, albeit one with a face like a slapped arse. No offence luv but I’d rather have a lap dance from a chick with a great smile rather than one with a face of misery like John Prescott.

Funnily enough it was a mate who was filming the shoot (yes I know some classy folk) so I gave him a call yesterday morning. Somewhere in the conversation the word translation was mentioned and it got me thinking.

An hour after the call I’d found a sweet class to hook up with Google’s Language API and freshly registered a domain to give the idea some life.

http://moslate.mobi/ As in MObile tranSLATE - it’s the result of playing yesterday aftenoon when I should have been working on some overdue stuff but the urge to be creative was stronger than the desire to do the other stuff so I went with it.

It’s flakey as all automated translation services are but the next time I’m in Spain I’ll try it to see if it works, after all anything has to be better than shouting and pointing, ah the joys of being typically English…..
