Two paramedics in Cork, Ireland, started scrambling when a woman couldn't wait till the hospital to give birth. But it's not because Gerry McCann and Shane Mulcahy weren't trained to deliver a baby in the ambulance — it's because the Congolese woman speaks limited English. Thankfully, McCann quickly thought to use the new and improved Google Translate app [1] on his smartphone, and the two began communicating before she successfully delivered a healthy baby girl. "It's something that I think I won't ever forget as I was translating Swahili into English somewhere on the side of the road . . . " McCann told a local paper [2].
