- mehwoot 13y agoLook at how far we've climbed this tree, we'll make it to the moon soon.
- frik 13y agoAltaVista/Yahoo Babelfish was based on SYSTRAN, as were earlier Google Translate versions! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SYSTRAN http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SYSTRAN SYSTRAN at that time was a rule-based machine translation and was comparable for european languages. Where as Google's newer Translate and Microsoft Translator are statistical machine translators. (both trained with UN and EU documents that are available in several languages). The future is probably a hybrid system (combination of rule-based and statistical) like the most recent SYSTRAN version.
