It does seem like a great idea, except that for Georgian it sometimes works and sometimes
thinks "Ah, I can't be bothered with Georgian. Will Spanish do?"
EDIT: Oh, seems like it just needed a little warming up! It's now working fine. Wish
there
was audio for Georgian too, but beggars can't be choosers.

The idea is cool but I completly distrust google trad for anything more than getting the gist of something (and maybe not even...).
