Problem
Your car is broken into overseas, or you have an accident, so you have to go to report to a police station. They don't speak English. What do you do?
Answer
You use Google Translate. My friend Mike told me that he had an accident in Europe. He typed in his entire statement into Google. He showed the translation to the police. They were very happy.
They typed out the replies. Although neither side spoke the other's person's language, the whole transaction was fast, stress-free, cordial, efficient. Win-win all around.
