I always thought it would be cool to hook up a translator like Google's to an IP phone with speech recognition to get on-the-fly two-way translating, but I think the lag would be too great. The problem is that the translater needs the complete word before it can translate it, it can't translate as it's being spoken which results in a very choppy conversation.
