Hello! A deputation that included an American Senator was proudly led to a demonstration of a translation program. The Senator suggested a phrase to be translated, "Out of sight, out of mind". The machine printed Chinese characters and these were then entered into the machine to be translated back to English. The visitors were all astonished when the machine printed the phrase "invisible idiot" on the paper. -- Carl Sagan, "The Dragons of Eden"
I always back-translate email messages before I send the translated version. Could Google make the back-translation automatic? I'm sure it would lead to better translations and probably some hilarity. Thanks! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "General" group.
