The results aren't great and it will be difficult to improve them, but it's still an interesting experiment. Here's an example of translation:
"Translating by machine from Latin is difficult and our grasp of grammar not without error. The Latin is unmatched because most of them Latin books have already been written and only a few of the new shall be hereafter. Many have been translated into other languages and these translations we use to train our translation system. Since this system translates books well similar to those from whom he learned, our ability to translate famous books (such as The Gallic War Caesar 's) is already good."
Google keeps adding new languages while in my opinion, they must first work on improving the current ones and then only add more languages.
ReplyDeleteIt certainly is more fun now to translate Lorum Ipsum pages to get gibberish like:

Lorum Ipsum text created using http://www.lipsum.com:
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Donec elit nisi, pulvinar non semper id, mattis quis dolor. Nam venenatis lobortis lorem quis varius. Donec sollicitudin vestibulum lacus in imperdiet. Aenean elementum felis et eros mattis posuere. In quis nunc erat, quis consectetur felis. Integer eget orci felis, id adipiscing nisl.

Praesent scelerisque, ligula fringilla rhoncus euismod, enim odio ultrices orci, iaculis tristique lectus augue id elit.
The "Lorem ipsum dolor etc." is not real latin, only some words are. "Ipsum" means per example "self" but is not conjugated in any way in relation to the other words.
Delete"... most of them Latin books have already been written..."
ReplyDeleteI'd say "...our grasp of grammar [is] not without error..." seems true for English as well.
I believe that the text quoted is a translation out of latin, and that's why it's not so great in English. The more people do use it and tell it where it's wrong, the better and better it will get. Also, this is why they need to add as many languages as they can, because once they get it set up for basics, it can improve itself by digesting more texts.
ReplyDeleteI'm with Akhilesh Sharma in this one http://goo.gl/nz0R
ReplyDeleteI am also with Akhilesh Sharma. I just translated a recent news article from english to german and the result is barely readable...
ReplyDelete@ ahab I fear that you might have to wait a while longer for a service that translates "Lorem Ipsum" texts. These are only placeholder texts for publishing and graphic design, which are pseudo-Latin and mostly nonsensical in meaning to begin with...
ReplyDeletecan someone help me tranlate this to latin? " listen to your heart, you will understand" THANKS IN ADVANCE!
ReplyDeleteGlad to see this. It's not much use at the moment for translating into Latin because it gets all the cases wrong. But I hope it improves.
ReplyDeleteWhy does "mattis quis" = RokNewsFlash ?
ReplyDeleteDon't get fooled by the Big development. It's a small crack to get into Christian countries, especially into Vatican. Lately the monks use web a lot. The Google Servers can host anytime some holy scriptures.
