What happened to the days when a dog barked and there weren't computers around to translate what they were communicating??

Scientists develop computer that can 'translate' a dog's bark
What would a dog say if it could talk? "Stranger", "fight", "walk", "alone", "ball" and "play", according to scientists who have developed a computer programme to translate dog barks.

The special programme analysed more than 6,000 barks from 14 Hungarian sheepdogs in six different situations.

In a series of tests the team of scientists, from Eötvös Loránd University in Hungary led by Csaba Molnár, discovered that a computer could recognise whether a dog was in a stranger, fight, walk, alone, ball or play scenario.

Yeah...but now someone is going to have to develop a program to translate Hungarian barks into English barks...and then into spoken English.

Do different breeds have different barking languages?

Now if we can get someone to translate RocketFan, we'd all be on the same page.
