Natural language translation is still a quite hideously 
difficult computational problem, one that I believe where 
the tactic of just waiting a few more computer generations 
for the hardware to get to a point where it can just 
smash the problem under the weight of teraflops won't bring 
the technology up to Star Trek standards. Using a time 
machine to plunder the technology of the future is 
cheating, by the way....
