Two people on a phone call can speak in different languages but will hear their native language. This is what Kurzweil predicted would be a reality in 2009 or 2010.
I have not yet heard of the phone version yet, but this is now a reality when you use email thanks to Google’s Automatic message translation:
“you can have entire conversations in multiple languages with each participant reading the messages in whatever language is most comfortable for them. It’s not quite the universal translators we’re so fond of from science fiction, but thanks to Google Translate, it’s an exciting step in the right direction.”
