Do we need multilingual flight attendants?
With Google Translate a system could be designed to the automated message system whereby the pursuer can type in what he or she wants the PA message to say and it will play over the PA and display on the PTV unit the message.

This would work well for people who don't understand English. For instance if you have a Russian passenger you would go to the system and ask for them in Russian to turn off their electronics.

When the Fasten Seatbelt sign comes on an automated message in another language can play.

Is this how they program the automated announcements on the Airbus planes?
