:00:37. > :00:42.click. I am Spencer Kelly. I am that the big cheese. This week, click
:00:42. > :00:47.takes a look at the latest translation technology. But is it
:00:47. > :00:51.time to in the technologies or is the hard lesson here to stay stop we
:00:51. > :01:01.also try out an accessory that gives you full access. All that and the
:01:01. > :01:05.latest technology news and a sleep over in Europe. Welcome to click.
:01:05. > :01:10.Technology is making the world a very small place. Not least because
:01:10. > :01:15.it is breaking down barriers between economies and cultures. Yet
:01:15. > :01:20.something things still to get lost in translation. Websites are
:01:20. > :01:24.constantly upping their game when it comes to translators, but how close
:01:24. > :01:32.are we to a speedy and portable solution? We get stuck into a good
:01:32. > :01:40.look. London. One of the most linguistically diverse cities in the
:01:40. > :01:45.world. With more than 8 million citizens, every single day over 100
:01:45. > :01:47.different languages can be heard here. If distance becomes an
:01:47. > :01:52.inconvenience rather than an insurmountable obstacle,
:01:52. > :02:00.globalisation means communicating in only one language is just not good
:02:00. > :02:05.enough. In this hive of activity, hundreds of people spend hours each
:02:05. > :02:10.day in learning languages the traditional way. You will not find a
:02:10. > :02:13.translation application in these classrooms. But as accuracy
:02:13. > :02:19.improves, maybe they should not bother. Are the applications up to
:02:19. > :02:25.the job? There is one way to find out. Let's put these apps to the
:02:25. > :02:35.test. This woman is going to speak Turkish into the Google trends in
:02:35. > :02:40.
:02:40. > :02:50.what -- in translation. And this man will speak Italian. TRANSLATION:
:02:50. > :02:58.
:02:58. > :03:06.let's have lunch together today. Do you have a nice Italian restaurant?
:03:06. > :03:13.Do you know a nice Italian restaurant? If there is a
:03:13. > :03:16.restaurant, making a pizza right with neighbourhood. It did not go so
:03:16. > :03:22.smoothly but hopefully they will turn up at the same place stop type
:03:22. > :03:28.the word you are translated, and instead you'll get a better result.
:03:28. > :03:32.So inadequacies in voice recognition must shoulder some of the blame.
:03:32. > :03:36.has two recognise the words you are saying. That is independent of
:03:36. > :03:44.translation. You have to hard problems. What seems obvious for
:03:44. > :03:46.people, recognising words out of a sound scape, putting them together
:03:46. > :03:53.in sentences and translating them into another language if you know
:03:53. > :03:59.it, it is very hard. It is very hard for computers. Grasping a phone as
:03:59. > :04:05.you chat is hardly natural. So maybe there could be some wearable tech to
:04:05. > :04:10.the rescue. This is Google glass which is basically a kinetic and few
:04:10. > :04:15.-- computer on your face. It has a built in microphone, speaker and
:04:15. > :04:19.everything you need for translation. When I put this on I may feel silly,
:04:19. > :04:23.but it looks like I can see a screen over there on the other side of the
:04:23. > :04:26.room. What you are looking at is a piece of glass, but this is a better
:04:26. > :04:32.idea of what I can see. You may have heard about the camera features but
:04:32. > :04:42.what we are interested in now is the translation. If I want to do a basic
:04:42. > :04:51.translation, this is what I do. Google, how are you in France. Via
:04:51. > :04:55.the Speaker I can hear how to say it and it is written on my screen.
:04:55. > :05:00.Pretty cool, and that is just a prototype. Many translation
:05:00. > :05:06.applications need to be online to work. That data could be problematic
:05:06. > :05:11.when you are abroad and likely to need translation the most. Here are
:05:11. > :05:19.a few applications that could solve the problem. The San Sung as for
:05:19. > :05:24.Keynes -- comes packaged with its own translation at. It also comes
:05:25. > :05:33.with an off-line phrasebook. It has categories in eight languages. You
:05:33. > :05:37.can add your own favourite phrases to the next. So you've going to the
:05:37. > :05:43.Arctic tree on, you can put that in. If you are going for something more
:05:43. > :05:48.flexible, Google translate now has an off-line mode as well. It should
:05:48. > :05:57.be up to translate anything you think of. It comes with a 160
:05:57. > :06:01.megabytes download, so you will need a hit of storage free if you are
:06:01. > :06:06.planning a world tour. What about if you cannot even read the language?
:06:06. > :06:11.Well you might want to try this. This can translate roadsigns and
:06:11. > :06:15.other text. So you have got your device to understand it, and it is
:06:15. > :06:19.translating when you need it to, but even in this perfect scenario you
:06:19. > :06:26.might still be a little disappointed with what comes out. Odds are you'll
:06:26. > :06:29.get the gist of it, but why can we not have a natural conversation?
:06:29. > :06:33.When you translate from one language to another, you need to make all
:06:33. > :06:39.sorts of decisions stop in your own language and inulin which are going
:06:39. > :06:49.into. If you do not make them properly, they will produce garbage.
:06:49. > :06:50.
:06:50. > :06:55.they would translate it into a lane which in an translated back. The
:06:55. > :07:00.spirit is willing but the flesh is weak, that is the sentence. What
:07:00. > :07:06.they got back from the Russian was, the media is good but the vodka is
:07:06. > :07:15.rotten. If you want to learn a few basic languages, you start with
:07:15. > :07:19.rules. Computers are not different except that computers do not look at
:07:19. > :07:22.language books, they look at the entire Internet. They look at early
:07:22. > :07:27.in the documents that have already been translated by languages --
:07:27. > :07:31.humans into different languages. United Nations documents, bilingual
:07:31. > :07:36.websites, and others. All that government -- all that information
:07:36. > :07:41.together and you can start to spot patterns about how and which works
:07:41. > :07:45.at how it to other languages. The more of these patterns you know, the
:07:45. > :07:50.more accurate your translation should get. The problem is, some
:07:50. > :07:53.lane which combinations do not have much data to go on. So translating
:07:53. > :08:03.English to German is going to be much better than in which to swat
:08:03. > :08:06.
:08:06. > :08:12.Healy. -- English to swat Healy. smarter we are at understand the
:08:12. > :08:14.patterns between that data, the better off we are going to be.
:08:14. > :08:20.the problem of encoding the totality of human knowledge about the world,
:08:20. > :08:26.and about the way language interacts with it. That is how to represent
:08:26. > :08:31.human intelligence. Will we ever solve it? That is the same as asking
:08:31. > :08:38.if we will understand how the human mind. For conversation at least, is
:08:38. > :08:48.going to be a little while replaces one of these -- before a phone
:08:48. > :08:51.
:08:51. > :08:58.replaces one of these. Next up, a walk -- look at technology news. The
:08:58. > :09:02.South Korean city has become the electrical roads. They are fuelled
:09:02. > :09:08.by a power strip on the road. The strip admits magnetic fields which
:09:08. > :09:12.he buses convert into electricity as they drive. The electromagnetic
:09:12. > :09:19.fields are safer humans and egg eliminates the need for buses to
:09:19. > :09:28.recharge their batteries. Popular messaging servers has announced the
:09:28. > :09:33.ad addition of voice messages. The Apple Corps Jeep makes -- the
:09:33. > :09:38.application makes its money by charging.... It brings it into
:09:38. > :09:43.Facebook messenger and other messaging services which offer
:09:43. > :09:49.similar features. Amazon founder and CEO has ought the Washington Post
:09:49. > :09:54.newspaper. He may be $250 million purchase himself, not on behalf of
:09:54. > :10:01.Amazon on. However the acquisition suggest that the Washington post may
:10:01. > :10:06.start innovating digitally. When asked about its future the CEO said
:10:06. > :10:10.he wanted it to invent an experiment. When you spend three and
:10:10. > :10:20.a half thousand pounds on a luxury toilet, the last being you expect it
:10:20. > :10:20.
:10:20. > :10:30.is to be hacked. This is a luxury toilet that is being controlled by
:10:30. > :10:32.
:10:32. > :10:37.an application. A hacker managed to access it. Because of limited
:10:37. > :10:44.Bluetooth range, anyone wanted to carrying out such an attack would
:10:44. > :10:50.need to be close by. One technology that is definitely been a long time
:10:50. > :11:00.coming as something called near field communications. The ability to
:11:00. > :11:02.
:11:02. > :11:06.touch two data is -- two devices together and data to flow together.
:11:06. > :11:11.It is very slowly made its way to the west. Getting more traction
:11:11. > :11:16.along the way we a thriving younger population is more eager to try out
:11:16. > :11:26.stop so eager in fact, that when we visited Turkey two years ago, I came
:11:26. > :11:26.
:11:26. > :11:29.across this device. He is a funny thing, as low -- although it is
:11:29. > :11:34.established in Turkey it is the mobile phone industry trying to play
:11:34. > :11:39.catch up. There are hardly any mobile phones on the market that had
:11:39. > :11:45.it built in. In order to kick-start that technology in Turkey you can
:11:45. > :11:49.retrofit any old mobile phone with a computer chip. What you do is you
:11:49. > :11:57.get this adapter and you feed it behind the scene card into your
:11:57. > :12:00.phone. You can see that here is the radio antenna and on the adapter
:12:00. > :12:06.there is a little bit of software that adds a menu function to your
:12:06. > :12:14.phone. For example, I have a pretty basic phone, it does not have a
:12:14. > :12:18.built in, you can see it is -- has got the adapter wrapped in an
:12:18. > :12:22.immediate you go into the menu and scroll down to functions, you can
:12:22. > :12:29.see you can make a payment to any other the cards you have linked to
:12:29. > :12:34.your account. Nowadays, more people carry around these credit cards
:12:34. > :12:38.allowing to make small payments quickly in many stores. The
:12:38. > :12:45.technology is quickly moving beyond small financial transaction. At this
:12:45. > :12:53.year 's consumer Electronics show, Sony showed off a raft of new
:12:53. > :12:58.features. Here they are used to create a quick Bluetooth connection
:12:58. > :13:08.between two devices. No need to use fiddle with the settings. These
:13:08. > :13:10.
:13:10. > :13:16.could tag your... What is more personal than your password? This
:13:16. > :13:19.ring think that you should no longer have to type it in. Where better to
:13:19. > :13:26.store it on something that you can easily carry around with you at all
:13:26. > :13:32.times. The body of the ring is made of metal. In between the two rims
:13:32. > :13:36.that is based for the electronics in here. This is a ring of two halves,
:13:36. > :13:39.you can see they have been colour-coded lack and white stop the
:13:39. > :13:45.white side is supposed to face outwards, that contains your public
:13:45. > :13:48.information. Your contact details. On the inside, the black half
:13:48. > :13:58.contains your private details. Something you would not want to
:13:58. > :14:00.
:14:00. > :14:05.share with anyone else. Why not use it to unlock your front door. First
:14:05. > :14:08.you had to use this digital lock. Not something he would wear to make
:14:08. > :14:16.a design statement but we are yet to see wearable technology that takes
:14:16. > :14:22.that locks. Former -- for now, it is strictly function over fashion. Less
:14:22. > :14:27.than a month into its kick-start funding pledge, the ring has been
:14:27. > :14:33.backed by 4,000 people raising �100,000. John McLear is the
:14:33. > :14:38.inventor of the ring. He joined us. You have part funded this project
:14:38. > :14:44.through kick-start, depending on how much you give you get a different --
:14:44. > :14:51.different amount of ring technology. One of the options is to enable any
:14:51. > :14:56.contributors to 3-D print the ring at home? Tell us about that. We were
:14:56. > :15:00.thinking that people may want to make there own designs. We thought,
:15:00. > :15:04.we will deliver the technology inside the ring and they print the
:15:04. > :15:10.act will ring themselves and put it together. One of the questions that
:15:10. > :15:16.struck me, you have a private and a public side to the ring. My ring, is
:15:16. > :15:19.spending around all the time. What is to stop you having the ring the
:15:19. > :15:27.wrong way around and giving someone private information instead of
:15:27. > :15:32.public. The private side of the ring does not have intents. They pass
:15:32. > :15:35.things out which would cause someone to do something. Your phone has to
:15:36. > :15:39.ask for a piece of information from the private side and then it will
:15:39. > :15:44.respond. If you use the private side, it will not tell the phone or
:15:44. > :15:49.other device what to do. If you have the ring halfway spun round, there
:15:49. > :15:54.is a metal bar between the private and public that at as a screen. It
:15:54. > :15:58.blocks the struggle -- signal from the side that is not meant to be
:15:58. > :16:05.presented. If someone stole the ring they could unlock most parts of my
:16:05. > :16:10.life, both -- there is no more authentication required. How do you
:16:10. > :16:15.solve that problem queuemac if you lose the ring, you set the reset
:16:15. > :16:20.button. With the phone, do you can log in with an e-mail address and a
:16:20. > :16:25.password. It makes the checks to see you are who you say you are. With
:16:25. > :16:29.the digital door, there is a pen and use it the reset arson. The
:16:29. > :16:35.advantages, if you lose the ring as opposed to losing your normal key
:16:35. > :16:43.that you lose now, you do not have too replace the entire door lock.
:16:43. > :16:47.There are cost savings long-term. This is one of the most practical
:16:47. > :16:50.uses of wearable technology. We have been talking about this for years.
:16:51. > :16:56.Do you see this functionality being introduced into other things in the
:16:56. > :17:00.future. Every part of your body has a different physical attribute it is
:17:00. > :17:05.useful for. With the ring, we decided unlocking things as a
:17:05. > :17:08.sensible thing. You might have public information you want to share
:17:08. > :17:13.on your wrist, something where you unlock the phone when you hold it to
:17:13. > :17:21.your air if you have an enabled airing. There are lots of practical
:17:21. > :17:25.applications, the -- we are used to -- we are looking forward to the
:17:25. > :17:31.community looking forward to it and exploring the applications. Good
:17:31. > :17:36.luck. Now it is time for Webscape. Most of us are familiar with the
:17:36. > :17:39.concept of taking a lodger to help pay the rent, the idea of peer
:17:39. > :17:45.rentals have taken that to a new level. You will not make a huge
:17:45. > :17:48.amount of money by renting out the spare room but it may help to pay
:17:48. > :17:55.the gas or Alec Christie Bell. Here is Kate Russell with the latest site
:17:55. > :18:00.to move into the area. -- electricity bill. The rental trend
:18:00. > :18:06.is booming online. We looked at a few examples already on Webscape
:18:06. > :18:10.like and ParkatmyHouse, there is another promising newcomer to the
:18:10. > :18:20.market, Alterkeys. It has a young interface but is due to being a
:18:20. > :18:23.
:18:23. > :18:26.social experience for the host and visitor. As well as being a
:18:26. > :18:30.cost-effective alternative to booking a hotel, one of the reasons
:18:30. > :18:33.I like to travel this way is the connection you get to local
:18:33. > :18:38.knowledge. Picking the brains of your host for the best faces to
:18:38. > :18:41.visit. I have made some good friends through peer-to-peer renting who
:18:41. > :18:48.remain on my friends list today. With over 50,000 properties around
:18:48. > :18:51.Europe, it is free to list a broom and a secure payment system holds
:18:51. > :18:57.the amount in escrow once a booking is made to avoid any embarrassment
:18:57. > :19:01.asking for payment. It offers thorough insurance although it there
:19:01. > :19:06.is a processing fee. As with anything financial, read the terms
:19:06. > :19:08.and conditions to check you are fully covered. Remember, the people
:19:09. > :19:18.themselves have not been vetted, make sure you are happy with your
:19:19. > :19:23.
:19:23. > :19:28.post before booking. With your room booked, you may need a flight. Which

:19:44. > :19:49.possible airfare. -- sites. When you are travelling long haul, the
:19:49. > :19:54.cheapest journey is not always the best value. You need to consider
:19:54. > :20:00.journey time and stopovers. Spending 15 hours at an airport departure
:20:00. > :20:04.lounge can be an expensive proposition in its own right. Which

:20:28. > :20:37.recording video, what are you supposed to do with all the random
:20:37. > :20:41.clip is. -- clips? VideofyMe has a good idea, a free application for
:20:41. > :20:44.iPhone and android that it is to edit together clips from your rear
:20:44. > :20:50.reel with a couple of swipes and tapes to make finished films which
:20:50. > :20:58.can be stored on your phone or shared with friends or popular
:20:58. > :21:01.blogging platforms. There are lots of video applications doing the
:21:01. > :21:06.rounds for your smart phone but I like that this application lets you
:21:06. > :21:12.edit a cool high light meal of your life complete with a backing track

:21:19. > :21:22.-- highlight reel. The video effects are only available if you are
:21:22. > :21:25.recording live through the application but you can stitch them
:21:25. > :21:30.altogether from your camera reel after saving them one at a time. As
:21:30. > :21:34.well as integrated sharing, you can build a network of followers with an
:21:34. > :21:44.application to experience the latest highlights from their lives every
:21:44. > :21:46.
:21:46. > :21:49.time you start it up. Disappearing content, like Snapchat is all the
:21:49. > :21:53.rage online right now. One interesting social experiment that

:21:58. > :22:06.photo to be shared on Twitter with a limited number of views, unless
:22:06. > :22:11.someone she is the link on again, which adds another block of views.
:22:11. > :22:17.-- she is the link. An interesting experiment with a reward dynamic on

:22:27. > :22:34.
:22:34. > :22:39.more widespread for the everyday person on the web. This week to mark
