1. A method for providing a translated output signal derived from a speech input signal, the method compromising: receiving a speech input signal in a first language; converting the speech input signal into a digital format compromising a voice model component representing a speech pattern of the speech input signal and a content component representing a content of the speech input signal; translating the content component from the first language into a second language to provide a translated content component; and generating an audible output signal comprising the translated content in an approximation of the speech pattern of the speech input signal.
