    I just tried the new animal translation service, and for me that works perfectly. With an english cat only.
    I'm french, and I think that the system can't translate french animal language.

    Does not work in Finnish dogs either! Seems to be mixing Russian and Swedish in way too much. I deleted this lousy app after an hour. Poor alpha release. Nice try guys but better luck next time and for the sake of everyone, do some proper beta testing before you launch this stuff. Embarrassing.

    Just tried using the app to translate between the corgie and the cats. I don't know if it's the pronounciation, but the dog has stalked off in a huff leaving the cats looking smug (again). Perhaps, I can get some help with mmmmmmmewwwww, mrrrrrrowwwwllll to corgi? The translation came up as rrrrroooooo roo roo.

    Well, I tried it and my dog said he wanted chocolate and that I shouldn't be concerned because dogs are not allergic to it.

    He's dead now. :-(

    I'm a bit disappointed they didn't follow up this joke with actual options in the language selection bar :-)

    I used it on my Dutch cat. And it worked really well actually. But I think I found a beta-error, because all the words are doubled. Perhaps there is a switch to get it out of the duplex mode.
    Could be double Dutch though...

    I just tried it with my son's dog. The translation kept saying, "hurry, hurry... open the front door, I need to 'you know.'

    So, I raced to the front door, opened it to let the dog to its thing. So, the dog goes flying out the door, races across a busy street and get run over by a garbage truck.

    In retrospect, I think the dog was telling me "hurry, hurry... open the front door, the little girl across the street just got stung by a bee."

    Yes, Woof, you need to work out some the bugs!
