Jajah has had a pretty serious year, and the new features it’s releasing just won’t stop coming. The latest on the scene may not be so huge as a new telephony platform, but it will impact users all the same. What is it? A speech-activated translation tool that lets you speak in English and translate into Mandarin (and vice versa). If you’re wondering why Jajah Babel went with Mandarin as its first language released through its translation service, just think of all the folks that will be bumbling around Bejing for the Olympic games.
So now what?
Hold the phone up to the person you’re trying to communicate with so they can hear the translated phrase in the language they understand. Should they need to, they can immediately use your phone in order to translate another phrase, or they can use their own phone and have a phrase translated from Mandarin back to English. Now you’ve got a traveling translator while in Mandarin-speaking areas of the world. As with all other Jajah applications, the new translation service will be offered as an integrated application for social networks and business applications, to name a few.
