The Tower of Babel builders needed Globr

[Mike Lucey]

Most of us probably know why the Tower of Babel never got finished ...... builders speaking in different languages!

A new 'inter-language' (my description ) application called Globr is to be launched shortly that will make life easier for online communication between folks speaking in different languages.

The list of languages to be covered will include, Dutch, English, French, German, Polish, Russian and Spanish, totaling 60 language pairs!

Initially the app will be available on Android and iOS from May next. There are also plans for a desktop business application which is good news for communities like SCF. Wouldn't it be fantastic if all SketchUcation members could interact conversation-wise using their native tongue via text messaging?

There is a comprehensive review / description here, http://www.gizmag.com/globr-translation-instant-messaging/31344/?utm_source=Gizmag+Subscribers%26amp;utm_campaign=7679f0b456-UA-2235360-4%26amp;utm_medium=email%26amp;utm_term=0_65b67362bd-7679f0b456-76676071

It appears that the link to Globr on the Gizmag article is not working as the site is 'Under Construction'. I will however see what further information I can obtain and report back.
