It would be also good if one day google could translate even local dialets and non-offiicial languages.

I use google translator quite often but the tranlations are rubbish most of the time. When do you think we will have an effective google translator that is able to translate precisely ?

Sorry in the question I meant Google Translator.

With the impact of cloud computing, semantic AI, and exponentially growing vocabularies, it won't take long at all. 5-10 years at most.

I agree it won't be that long to have a better version of Google Translator then it'll be a Universial Translator.

Thats a very good thing. My English drastically improved in the last years but I think it will take other 5 to 10 years before it can be almost perfect. A better google translator would help me tremendously especially when I write academic articles or when I have to translate from some unpopular languages. ( Last year for my reserch I had to translate an academic article from Turkish and there was no way I could do it over the internet. I ended up paying a guy for the translation but it costed me a fortune)
I also have another question, I am dating a Russian girl at the moment and I would like to show her some Italian movies which don't have any English or Russian subtitles. To translate them by myself by adding subtitles it would take me at least 4 months to complete the job and thats only for one movie.
When do you think we will have a programm that would translate movies simultaneously by adding subtitles in a selected language?
It will always be between 5 to 10 years or it would take longer?
Thanks in anticipation for the answers.

I hope its in 5-10 years. For it to be perfect, I also wouldn't be surprised for 15 years max. It seems like voice activation has been getting a larger vocabulary and understanding but it lacks in registering normal speech.
I mean 15 years for all languages. English should be the first to be perfected (or Chinese) but all those obscure languages will take time.

Hehe chinese by western standards is one of the most obscure languages out there, next to Japanese. Not to mention the myriad of dialects they also share. Have you ever tried to read a chinese translation? Its almost always wrong. But then again 15 years is a long time in the technology stakes to get this right.
