RE: BabelFish down ?

[Gabriel Robichaud]

I have worked with various Language Services companies over the past 10 years, and I must say that Machine Translation is just a bad idea.  I really hope you are not translating text other than for your personal use.  I would laugh so hard if a client or supplier would hand me a proposal or something that was ran through babel fish!  Yes, it is obvious when a machine did the work, and it's usually badly written.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

not wishing to encourage this, but i blogged about MT back in june. there's
a list of MT offerings in that entry ("machine translations? bah humbug")
