Dory from “Finding Nemo” claimed to be able to speak fluently in “whale” — and now, thanks to Google, so can you. The multinational corporation recently added “whale” and “dolphin” to their list of more than 90 languages that users can translate.

Scientists from the University of Queensland working on the Humpback Whale Acoustic Research Collaboration (HARC) have been working to decode whale songs since 2007, and recently perfected the technology. Sergey Brin, Co-Founder, had been directing a special project in Australia earlier this year, and learned about HARC’s endeavors.

“I would like to see anyone be able to achieve their dreams, and that's what this organization does. ” he said.

Google will launch the language on its translator platform in early April for users worldwide.
