'Teenglish' dictionary on your mobile phone: New app will help older generation translate slang By Paul Sims for mailonline For those older peeps in the fam who want to know what da kidz in their endz are thinking, a sick new app may just hold the key, innit. In an effort to reduce the generation gap, over-50s group Saga is to launch a mobile phone application to translate teenagers’ slang. The ‘Woteva’ app, which will be available by the end of summer, will translate 100 words or phrases. It has been designed to help parents and grandparents stay in touch with youngsters and will be free to download to any smartphone, such as the iPhone, or similar hand-held device. Among the translations are peeps, or people; fam, or family; endz, or neighbourhood; and sick, or good. Dr Ros Altmann, director- general of Saga, said: ‘To some parents and grandparents, it can feel that the next generation has a language of its own.‘ A translator seems like the obvious solution to prevent the generational gap from getting bigger. Currently, teen-speak includes: ‘This app will provide people with the opportunity to stay connected with youngsters, and nurture relationships across generations.’ She added: ‘In our estimation around 5 per cent of all words currently in use in the English language are completely alien and indecipherable to people born before the 1960s.’ SIMS, Paul.
