Re: [Trisquel-users] good free program for translating languages?

[greatgnu]

There are no programs that can translate any language *properly*. Languages  
are very complex systems. Especially, resolving the ambiguities in the text  
is something a machine promptly fails to do. Machines can't translate idioms,  
which are an essential and very frequent part of every human language. If you  
want something that translates text but it translates it a la google  
translate, that is, terribly inaccurately, I'm sure there are programs that  
can do it, but if you want a decent translation you have two options: paying  
someone for the translation or learning the language.
