Hi!
Tis quot from wikipedia may provide a path for further research:
"Google translate is based on an approach called statistical machine
translation, and more specifically, on research by Franz-Josef Och who
won the DARPA contest for speed machine translation in 2003. Och is
now the head of Google's machine translation department."

The name Fran-Josef Och seems to be from Austria, Bavaria and/or from
a person emigrated to the USA.

C U!
