Because it is ambiguous. I put your example into Buckwalter and looked up the word in my dictionary. BTW - Is it the stage name of a belly dancer? ah=p - yes as the letter a is so oversubscribed. Disamibuation which is the technical term is non trivial. In fact it is the essence of tranlation. Arabic script is monocase. In English or Spanish you can disambiguate by capital letters. Google prides itself on statistical translation, so there scould be disambiguation. My suggestion to Google is a little bit more profound. If I am to say "Jamilah danced well" disamibualisation occurs during the parsing stage as we have Adjective verb adverb. This is impossible only a noun can start a sentence. If I say "The dancer is beautiful" this is possible both ways and any statisdtics would coose "beautiful". Google has however set its face against this. - Ian Parker On Nov 13, 5:24 am, "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hello Google, > Thank you very much for providing us with all of these great tools, > Translation tool is one of your best at least for me. > I usually use it to translate from English to Arabic or vice versa, > however almost every time i do translating i'll have non-sense > translating to the names.
