A better automatic translator

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

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://translate.google.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.

I don't know, Google has a nasty habit of censoring.

1) Sorry for the typing error (the needed dot before "google" was not typed). The link should have been"

Google Translate

2) Using the translator to learn a foreign language? Probably possible. I do not know.
