Finally: Translate animal lanugage

Curious what your dog or cat says about you? Google England is offering an app for your mobile phone that translates animal language into human. http://www.google.co.uk/intl/en/landing/translateforanimals/tour.html

The translate app is free and comes with warnings and tips. The following is a quote from the website:

Note: It is not Google’s responsibility if you are offended or disappointed by what your chosen animal may say. Also please note, we do not guarantee stimulating conversation.

Pro Tip: As a general rule the higher up in the food chain an animal is, the better a communicator it will be. So if you are after quick witted banter it’s best to select cats and dogs rather than rabbits, hamsters and guinea pigs.


Well - that's Google's contribution to April Fools Day!
