This morning I noticed several people linked to LENR-CANR.org via a blog in Polish:

I ran this through Google translate:

<http://translate.google.com/translate?u=http://slomski.us/2010/03/30/wielka-spekulacja>http://translate.google.com/translate?u=http://slomski.us/2010/03/30/wielka-spekulacja

The quality of the translation is surprisingly good. Google is getting better at this every day. There was an article about how they do it in the mass media . . . I think it was the New York Times. A great deal of money was poured into machine translation from the 1950s on, but little progress was made until Google and others amassed huge volumes of translated text. That is, the same document in multiple languages, translated by humans. By the standards of the past they are working with an unimaginably large database.
