This is so cool. The future is cool!

I wonder how it will work on languages that have different grammatical structure than french/english? Like Finno-Ugric languages which have sort of a Yoda speech to them. Edit: In Finno-Ugric languages words later on in a sentence can completely change the meaning. Will be interesting to look at.

It's considerate of them to name it after my favourite whisky.

even in regular languages with similar structure, sometimes the ending of a sentence forces you to change how you would say the whole sentence. Human synchronous translators usually correct themselves in such cases, which is a trade-off of having better latency in most cases, at the cost of having to correct yourself once in a while.
