I have noted this and produced a remedy. group countries into a set. Find set names statistically. Translation is then trivial. It is simply a quirk of statistical translation. I can I think prove the absence of any conspiracy as follows. I put it "Vietnam war". Up comes Wikipaedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vietnam_War is quite a good scholarly account. Nothing biased. If anything bias is AGAINST the Pentagon and the Establishment. My own personal opinion is that Statistical Translation has considerable drawbacks and can produce absurdities. You are right though. This is NOT acceptable.
This occurs in other languages too. Arabic comes in 2 flavours Levantine and otherwise. Most Arabic is SVO although Levantine is SOV. No Arabic is OVS (except for Mossad) There was an article in an Arab newspaper about an Israeli settler killing a Palestinian. It came out via Google as the Israeli having been killed by the Palestinian. Like "Vietnam war" I put in "Cast lead". This was the Israeli operation in Gaza. Again no evidence of bias at least NOT ON GOOGLE'S PART. It is quite easy to find out about all the war crime allegations. I said that I thought that statistical translation was unsound fundamentally. The EU thinks so and MOLTO, which they are working on, is in fact a grammatical system. Google Translate is I believe open to hacking and I think Mossad does have some responsibility. I don't think anyone cares enough about the Vietnam war to suggest the US won. It was a long time ago. Needless to add only people accredited to MOLTO will have any access to it. Sorry Mossad and all that. - Ian Parker On May 9, 5:10 am, Huỳnh wrote: > You have traslated wrongly: > việt nam chiến thắng Mỹ -> America won Vietnam > Những người chiến thắng là Vietnam -> The winner is the United States > > Please correct them! > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "General" group. > To post to this group, send email to [email address]. > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [email address]. > For more options, visit this group > athttp://groups.google.com/group/google-translate-general?hl=en. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "General" group.
