"This is my Universal Translator, although it only translate into an incomprehensible dead language" - Hubert J. Farnsworth

"Hello!" - Cubert Farnsworth

"Bonjour!" - machine

"Crazy gibberish" - Hubert J. Farnsworth

The Universal Translator was one of a long series of "half-inventions" created by Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth.

Farnsworth intended for it to be able to translate every language which was currently in use. However, because of a malfunction, it could only translate words into an unknown and long-dead language, which is revealed to be French. Upon hearing a translation while demonstrating the device to Cubert, Farnsworth describes it as "Crazy gibberish!"

Trivia Edit
