Garrett,

Small Talk is a language conversationalist (huh?)...

It allows you to carry on a conversation in a variety
of different languages, with many built in topics.

Anotherwords, lets say you are visiting Mexico and
don't speak any espanol at all. So, with SmallTalk,
you ask (in English) where the nearest hotel is.
It translates to Spanish (or German, or...). The
person you are chatting with sees the question
(in Spanish), and replies from a short list of
answers. A reply might be "It is (so many) miles
in that (point in the direction) direction." They
then select how many miles or km's and then Small
Talk traslates that back into English, while they
are pointing in the direction of the hotel
(or hospital, restraunt, etc).

Get the idea?

John
