My wife's (deceased) grandmother spent years in the Ukraine hiding from Nazis during the Holocaust. She is writing a book based on Granny's audio tapes (in Yiddish) and several (Hebrew) documents. Several people have helped us translate most of the materials but some remains untranslated.
We note, with considerable skepticism, that Google Translate claims to be able to translate Yiddish documents to English. First, very few people still speak (Western) Yiddish which is based in Hebrew and Medieval German. Second, it's our understanding that Yiddish is a spoken language and Hebrew is the written equivalent so we wonder what Google means by translating Yiddish (documents, pages) to English. Finally, the (Hebrew) documents are hardcopy not digital files. Sounds like we need human (not computer) assistance :-) Ideas?
