kowalskil Posted September 16, 2011 Report Posted September 16, 2011 Those interested in automatic translators will probably find this article useful: http://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/gadgets-and-tech/features/how-google-translate-works-2353594.html It is about how Google Translate works, and why it usually outperforms other automatic translators. To verify this claim, I translated a piece from English to Russian. The result was not perfect but it was very good. Here is what to do: 1) Go to http://translate.google.com2) Specify languages, for example, English --> Russian3) Paste (or type) the text to be translated. 4) Click on the “translate” button The translated text will appear at once. You can just read it or cut-and-paste it into another document. Ludwik Kowalski (see Wikipedia) Quote

Note how 'online' has moved position, this is becasue german has strick order rules, ie Time - manner - place. So it moved the place (online) to the end. Pretty smart I used to use babelfish but I am switching to google now!!! Edited May 12, 2012 by esbo Quote
esbo Posted May 12, 2012 Report Posted May 12, 2012 (edited) english - german - french - english Mary had a little lamb, whose fleece was white as snow. And everywhere that Mary went, the lamb was sure to go. It followed her to school one day which was against the rules. It made the children laugh and play, to see a lamb at school. And so the teacher turned it out, but still it lingered near, And waited patiently about, till Mary did appear. Why does the lamb love Mary so the eager children cry. Why, Mary loves the lamb, you know the teacher did reply. ================== Mary had a little lamb, its fleece was white as snow. And everywhere that Mary went, The lamb was sure to go.
