The entire State Department has only 60 people who are fluent, and up until 9/11, FBI headquarters had only two Arabic speakers on staff. The U.S. government has responded to this lack of linguistic intelligence with a huge push on language technologies designed to get the U.S. military communicating in Arabic. <br>For the past two years, American military personnel have been using the Phraselator Translation System, a Palm Pilot-like device that offers over 15,000 phrases in pre-recorded Arabic. <br> <br>For more information, please visit: <br><a href="http://www.nowtoronto.com/issues/2005-03-03/goods_next.php " target="blank">www.nowtoronto.com/issues/2005-03-03/goods_next.php </a> <br></font></td> </tr> </table> </td></tr> </table> <script type="text/javascript"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="<http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show
