My guess is, that such a little device has way to less resources for a sophisticated conversion. Such a system must learn and be able to detect different languages. A centralized service might be better for such cases.

I doubt very much, that you can exchange the OS very easily. Such devices are quite special regarding the kernel and its drivers. After all, this is no PC, but a very resource limited embedded device.
