Google Cypher was a proposed project to celebrate the usage of language via Google Translate through four interactive movements:

1. Clock — playful pairings of recently-translated adjectives and nouns are presented with each passing second, reminiscent of “mad libs”.
2. Connection — Internet users around the world add sentences to a handful of collective “chain letters” that respond to various prompts.
3. Conversation — recently-translated phrases are automatically chained together based on overlapping clauses, to create a never-ending sentence.
4. Chatter — the sounds of 100 languages form an ever-changing audio landscape made of human voices, speaking recently-translated phrases.

The proposal responded to an invitation from Google Creative Lab, but was never developed beyond the stage of an early design prototype for Clock.
