Ever wondered what animals are actually saying to each other? Well ... you're in luck! "I've got an app for that"  

Google has just released a brand new App - Translate for Animals - which promises to "bridge the gap between animals and humans".

Translate for Animals is an application for Android phones that recognises and transcribes words and phrases that are common to a species, like cats for example. To develop Translate for Animals, Google worked closely with many of the world's top language synthesis teams, and with leaders in the field of animal cognitive linguistics, including senior fellows at the Bodleian Library in Oxford.

An unnamed source at Google stated that "we've always been a pet-friendly company at Google, and we hope that Translate for Animals encourages greater interaction and understanding between animal and human".

If you haven't guessed already, this is of course an April's Fools prank from the guys at Google. And a pretty decent one too.
