Nintendo Translator?

Is Nintendo working on translation software for the Nintendo DS?

According to the Gaming Age Forums, a Japanese newspaper (Sankei Shimbun) reports on a new development title by Nintendo: software which includes features such as a virtual dictionary and a touch-screen translator (English-Japanese, English-Chinese and Japanese-Chinese). According to the newspaper, various mini games and other features will be included as well.

President Iwata quotes, "Although it is practical as a dictionary, it has several functions". Iwata hopes to target this product next year for sale by junior and senior high school students. A possible US or European release weren't mentioned.

  Yes, they'll be coming up in the New Year just as soon as I complete this batch of GBA reviews.
