MURRAY: Hi, I'm Murray from "Sesame Street,"
and I'm looking for the Word on the Street.
What's the Word on the Street?
GIRL: Translate.
MURRAY: What does "translate" mean?
BOY: It means to change one language to another language.
BOY: Like English to Spanish.
MURRAY: Please translate "milk" to Swedish.
MAN: Mjolk.
MURRAY: "Mother" in French.
GIRL: Mere.
MURRAY: "T-shirt" from English to Mandarin.

MURRAY: Keep listening for the word "translate" today
on "Sesame Street."
GIRL: Translate.
PINK PUPPET: Es la palabra de la calle.
MURRAY: Let me translate.
That's the Word on the Street.
BEN: Translate means to change one language
to another language.
ELMO: Oh, wow!
Well, that sounds cool.
How do you translate from one language to another language?
BEN: I'll show you.
You say something in English, and I'll
change it into Spanish.
I'll translate.
ELMO: Oh, OK.
Well, here Elmo goes.
Hello!
My name is Elmo.
BEN: Hola!
Mi nombre es Elmo.
ELMO: Oh, wow!
You changed what Elmo said into another language.
BEN: That's right.
I translated.
And you can translate with any language.
Take this cheese, for instance.
CHEESE: Bonjour.
BEN: This cheese speaks French--
CHEESE: Oui.
BEN: --and I speak a little French,
so I can translate what the cheese says.
Go ahead, cheese.
Say something.
CHEESE: Je suis un fromage.
ELMO: Ah.
What did the cheese say?
Translate, please.
BEN: The cheese said, "I am a cheese."
CHEESE: Oui.
ELMO: Oh, wow!
Mr. Benjamin is really good at changing words
from one language to another language.
Well, can Mr. Benjamin translate any other languages?
BEN: Well, you know what?
I'm glad you asked, because actually, I
do speak a little bit of tiger.
ELMO: Oh!
BEN: No, it's true.
Watch.
Tiger, say something, and I will translate.
TIGER: Roar.
ELMO: What'd he say?
BEN: The tiger said, hello.
ELMO: Oh, well, that's nice.
Tell Mr. Tiger that Elmo says hello, too.
BEN: OK.
I can translate that.
ELMO: OK.
BEN: Roar.
TIGER: Oh, roar!
ELMO: What'd the tiger say this time?
BEN: He says he's hungry.
ELMO: Ah, well, what's he hungry for, Mr. Benjamin?
BEN: Let me ask.
ELMO: OK.
BEN: Roar roar?
TIGER: Roar!
BEN: He says he's hungry for cheese.
ELMO: What?
Say what, now?
TIGER: Roar!
BEN: Now the tiger says he's going to eat the cheese.
CHEESE: Je pars!
BEN: And the cheese says he's leaving.
ELMO: Oh, no!
We have to stop them!
Stop, Mr. Tiger!
Stop!
BEN: Oh, Elmo!
Elmo, Elmo!
He doesn't understand English, remember?
ELMO: Oh, right!
Well--well, then just change what Elmo said into another
language, Mr. Benjamin, and make it fast!
BEN: Oh, right, no, no, no!
I can translate.
ELMO: Yes, please!
BEN: Roar!
ELMO: Phew.
