Hello,

I developed 2 months ago a flash google translate application and it seems to me that is working pretty well, you can not expect to a result similar to human but I think within the next 10 years you will see AI software that will replace many human jobs (including translation)

Babelfish is horrible. I have family in various europeon countries. I can basically speak their lanuages to get by.
Forget about writing. I was using Babelfish until my cousin
said my Italian wasn’t all that “evil” OKAY! I said that’s good
because it translated our aunt was a pear tree. I realized Bablefish is garbage. My nephew said to try Google Translate,
it’s the best. That was an understatement.

I did some testing with Google Translate and got very poor results. Even short and easy sentences had mistakes in, and more complex sentences did not make any sense at all.
Good translation can only be made by humans!

English to Turkish and Turkish to English translations should be improved. I wonder why Yahoo and Microsoft’s Bing Search engine do not offer Turkish translations.

You can go to google.com.translate as well, it can’t translate flash. If you don’t like Google’s try: http://babelfish.yahoo.com/

Nice tip – but watch out!!!
I live in ‘little’ Denmark and i’ve seen some horrible translations when using the translate gadget…. When you want to translate to the “smaller languages” Google Translate are not 100% accurate…. yet.

I’ll try to find some examples!
