Thread: A better automatic translator

Those interested in automatic translators will probably find this article useful:


How Google Translate works - Features, Gadgets & Tech - The Independent


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://translategoogle.com
2) Specify languages, for example, English --> Russian
3) 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.

Well, I use Google translate myself (beats old babelfish), and I suppose that's good information. The article is interesting at any rate...so, I thank you for posting it.
Just fyi...the second sentence of your tag, e.g., "The more people know about proletarian dictatorship the less likely will they experience is..." is ungrammatical in English and your meaning is therefore slightly unclear. Is the last letter supposed to be a "t"?

Yes it should have been t. Thank you.

It was a typo. That you for correcting me. Ludwik
