Te reo Maori comes to iPhones

A Hamilton company has created the technology to bring te reo Maori to iPhones, one of New Zealand's official languages, where a simple text message will see English translated into Maori. Stuff reports.

The iPhone application is being launched nationally by Auckland University of Technology and Te Upukare National Maori Language Institute next week, the start of Maori Language Week.

The application for iPhone will see the Maori dictionary built into iPhones, but the pair have also developed the systems for text messaging which would see translations and definitions text messaged to phones.
