If you try if with just the European languages, the translation actually comes through pretty well. Adding Persian or one of the Asian languages is where things get messed up.
Which means... if you want to expand your market, you could probably provide sufficient support to European countries using Google translate to communicate with customers.
- tibbon 16y agoIf i'm remembering right, that's largely because proceedings from EU and european courts are used as the data for many of these translators, since there is such a copious amount of text that is well translated between the languages and recorded.
- orijing 16y agoIn addition to what the guy above (below?) me said, it's because of the similarity of the direction and grammar of the European languages vs. Japanese, for instance, where the verb is at the end. Translation systems typically rely heavily on N-gram models, which are susceptible to these issues.
