Update 2008: Time to check for changes in the machine translation algorithms

2008-03-10T10:29:00.000-07:00

Are the Shanghai-Shakespeare experimental sonnets still "reversible" by the SYSTRAN rule-based algorithm?

Time to revisit this experiment ... (in progress, more soon)

GOOGLE TRANSLATION UPDATE

2006-02-24T06:18:00.000-08:00

24 FEB 2006 / GOOGLE CHANGE

The first set of sonnets of this project

no longer reverse-translate (English->Chinese->English)

using Google's (apparently changed from Systran) algorithm.

(NOTE: These sonnets still reverse-translate

using the machine translation at babelfish.altavista.com)

More info after I explore the change ...
