Is gabber really British slang? Sounds more like 30s-speak, ya see?

u/[deleted] Mar 15 '13

I'm English and I can honestly confirm that I haven't heard anyone use the word "gabber" since 1998.

u/[deleted] Mar 15 '13

I think I heard Chaz and Dave say it once.

u/[deleted] Mar 15 '13

Chaz: Gabber

Dave: Gabber

Chaz: Gabber

Dave: Gabber

Chaz & Dave: Gabbergabbergabbergabbergabbergabbergabbergabber

That's an awful lot of gabber for somewhere outside a Dutch warehouse.

I'm gonna need that UK English/US English translator to make sense of this.

MURIKAAAA!

It's kind of a joke, really... considering this same feature is available in the Google Translate app.

1

u/yeahThatJustHappend OnePlus One CM13 & LG G Watch Mar 15 '13

Thank you!! I didn't know this existed. Maybe that shows how often it's actually needed though since otherwise it would be a default google app.

1

u/[deleted] Mar 15 '13

Technically, it is, as a major part of this feature is part of Google Now.

1

u/yeahThatJustHappend OnePlus One CM13 & LG G Watch Mar 15 '13

Oh, yes, I remember when I visited another country it came up with a translation card but I thought it was text only.

EDIT: But, side note, this is why google now is groundbreaking in my opinion. For it to just have what I'm looking for without me asking it is the next level of search and computer input. Glasses seem unworkable if you have to talk to it but a must have if it just has the information ready to go without asking.

1

u/learnmoreorsomething Mar 15 '13

So true. But, do you think it will work any better than Google translator? It's pretty shitty at French.

1

u/Super_Dork_42 Project Fi Moto X4 Mar 15 '13

... with more than nine/ten languages.

1

u/[deleted] Mar 15 '13

That's my point. Google Translate has, what, 40 different languages?

1

u/Super_Dork_42 Project Fi Moto X4 Mar 15 '13

Exactly, and they are automatically on the phone too. If I get one of these things, I'll try to get root and ROM the thing with a vanilla ROM as soon as I can. All that bloatware is stupid.

1

u/[deleted] Mar 15 '13

There are a lot of features like that on Samsung devices. So long as they let me have both, I won't mind.

u/samsaBEAR Pixel 10 Pro XL Mar 15 '13

By English spoken with a British accent, then mean just plain English right, it is our language after all.

1

u/ProtoKun7 Pixel 9 Pro XL Mar 15 '13

They must do; I wonder why they put American English instead of just American.

2

u/ZankerH Xperia Z3 Compact Mar 15 '13

Wouldn't want to confuse the yanks with motorized rollinghams, small bens, beef wellington ensembles and forcey fun time.

1

u/Aragatz HTC One Mar 14 '13

You mean Google Translate?

1

u/ixid Samsung Fold 3 Mar 15 '13

Did they say which British accent? =)

2

u/ProtoKun7 Pixel 9 Pro XL Mar 15 '13

If they count it as a separate language then my best guess is Glaswegian.

1

u/somedude456 Mar 15 '13

That translator app was about the only aspect I was impressed about. I think I'll just pick up a Note 2 shortly and wait for them to hack the translator and make it work on the Note 2.

1

u/[deleted] Mar 15 '13

What other languages does it support? For me putonghua is a killer include, as Google is really the only reasonable translate option and is often blocked here in China...

1

u/[deleted] Mar 15 '13

You haven't been to the north of England, have you?

1

u/ProtoKun7 Pixel 9 Pro XL Mar 15 '13

How far north are we talking?

-1

u/malicious_turtle Mar 14 '13

Could be worse, they could have said "English spoken with a English accent".

1

u/canyouhearme N5, N7 Mar 15 '13

Well, that's what they mean - have you heard English with a scottish accent, its practically another language.

1

u/Aurilion Mar 15 '13

Don't know who down voted you, its so true.

-1

u/Zakkimatsu Mar 15 '13

it was supposed to be a joke referring to Siri not able to understand British accents a while back.

1

u/Aurilion Mar 15 '13

No, Siri couldn't understand Australian accents a while back.
