Yes, now the dream to get the Chinese language translated into English or English into Chinese will be brought into reality by the newly introduced gadget of Baidu and you will be not wrong to say that the translating technology of Star Trek and science fiction has become the part of the real world.
Baidu could manage to show off its pocket translator at MIT Technology Review’s EmTech Digital conference held in San Francisco this week.
