Thanks to a translator biochip, nobody has to speak the same language anymore. When the young CTO of the company responsible for this groundbreaking technology discovers their imminent firmware release has been hacked, she is against the clock to save everyone from bio warfare.

      “Thanks to a translator biochip, nobody has to speak the same language anymore. When the young CTO of the company responsible for this groundbreaking technology discovers their imminent firmware release has been hacked, she is against the clock to save everyone from bio warfare.”

      How does the hack lead to bio warfare? The first sentence can be cut and integrated into the rest. Also what exactly does she have to do? Get rid of a virus? Regain control?

      Example:?When she discovers the new firmware release for a translator biochip has been hacked, a young CTO has 12 hours to fix the hack before it starts a war.?(29)

      I could give a better example if I had a specific action she must take in order to stop this war.

      As DK already posted, the first thing that was confusing was the relationship between a language translation subject and then bio warfare. That has to be bridged somehow or scrapped completely.

      I hope your plot is sound enough not to actually have one lead to the other by some chance. That would be a plot hole hard to fix.

      On the plus side, a universal translator is? an interesting idea to explore, albeit, not a fresh one.

      As Dkpough1 noted, exactly what must she do? How does “save everyone” translate into a specific game plan, a specific objective goal to nullify the threat?

      I don’t know if this is the kind of movie you have in?mind, but I just saw this in my mind’s eye:

      The hack risks causing numerous international incidents next time world leaders meet ? and the international incidents could lead to WWIII ? because the hack turns this Universal Translator Chip into an equivalent of the Dirty Hungarian Phrasebook. (Monty Python sketch.)
      That’s a movie I would love to watch.

      I like Adam Bernstr?m’s idea.

      Played as?a comedy. ? Maybe the setup could be that the U.N. ?now uses digital translator technology. The staff of flesh-and-blood translators has been eliminated.

      Then a hacker turns the meeting of world leaders (at the U.N.) into a modern day Tower of Babel at the worst possible moment, in the middle of an international crisis that threatens to plunge the world into war.

      That’s a movie I would like to watch.

      fwiw
