"Google gave journalists a glimpse of its next generation machine translation system at a May 19th Google Factory Tour. "Google Blogoscoped" offers an excellent overview of the presentation. The system has been trained using the United Nations Documents as a corpus. This corpus is some 20 billion words worth of content. It uses existing source and target language translations (done by human translators at the U.N.) to find patterns it then uses to build rules for translating between those languages. Apparently it was successful where the current version had failed in translating certain phrases. If anyone were capable of making a serious go of MT, that would have to be Google."

Wow, using machine learning successfully for translation. That kicks all forms of ass.

 

[Foreign Jackass]

Mmm. The sample isn't very impressive, and it's pretty fucking slow.

 

[Pochacco]

Anyone else think Google's master plan is world domination?
Not that I have a problem with it.

It seems to work better from English to any language than the other way around.

I'm also having fun checking how it deals with obscenities.
