I have a recording frm 4yrs ago..roomate speaking MANY languages. I NEED it translated. Software?

Language expert? HELP! KNOWN SO FAR:1)First min or so is Portuguese (10min recording)2)Some form of German comes & goes throughout3)Asian-based &/or Native language in the mix4)I'm told the languages begin to change mid-sentence...thus the difficulty finding people who can translate more than a word or two throughout.AT LAST RESORT I MAY JUST SEND A CLIP TO ANYONE WHO'S FLUENT IN: PORTUGUESE, ASIAN or NATIVE LANGUAGES, GERMAN (not necessarily modern-day), and possibly YIDDISH.

Hell, there's no telling how many other languages are also in this thing. I've been trying for the last few YEARS to get an answer. A friend in the air force promised to get it translated over a year ago & now ever since WILL NOT answer my calls.

If I can't find a real answer (I will double check all translations 2b sure) I may have to suck up my anonymity and youtube the damn thing. I'M THAT DESPERATE FOR THE ANSWER!

It will be a heck of a lot easier to find a translator if you know the languages being used.

2 First step would probably be to try to identify what languages are on it. Best place to start would be if you know somebody who speaks any of the languages your roommate spoke. That would at least give you the basics.

There really isn't any software capable of automatically translating languages, beyond very rudimentary versions.

4 Ok, so I can't help but ask the circumstances surrounding the recording. Is this one of those stories that goes something like: We were just sitting around smoking our gym socks and Steve suddenly started foaming at the mouth and started speaking in tongues. Or is it more like: My roommate was known to speak several different languages and started babbling at me one night.

5 I added a lot more info above. Let me know if it helps regarding your reply. I don't know all the languages but I've been told by so many people (since I bring it up to just about everyone whether I know em or not at this point) they hear Polish, "possibly Vietnamese", Japanese, German, "some kind of Asian language", Yiddish, Native American...the list goes on.

There is DEFINITELY Portuguese because I played the 1st part for a guy I overheard talking about how he was majoring in Portuguese and I pulled him aside immediately and stuck the iphone (where I played him the recording from my email) to his ear and he was translating the 1st part but couldn't once the languages switched. He's still probably confused as to what the heck he was listening to because I didn't bother to explain. I mentioned afterwards that she only speaks English and he said "well she was speaking fluent Portuguese on there".

I'm just glad I managed to grab my cell 4 years ago when it happened, or I would still think it was just a joke. But apparently it's not and I've got to figure it out. Since the frickin Air Force has a copy, and I'm getting the silent treatment from that end, I've been spreading copies around to ALOT of people as backup...just in case.

That part has me a little worried, but more determined.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
