language well, do this? My own experiences with machine-translation
   people are quite enamored of translation programs, finding little to

   machine-translation advocate, to Norbert Wiener, a key figure in
   person thinks that a machine translation can ever achieve elegance and
   translation-as-decoding became a credo that has long driven the field
   of machine translation.
   Since those days, “translation engines” have gradually improved, and

   machine translation, I decided I had to check out the latest
   word: understanding. Machine translation has never focused on
   high-quality translation without paying attention to what language is
   The translation challenge seems straightforward, but in French (and

   A third oddity is that in the phrase “Mao Tse Translation Committee,”

   problems for machine translation today. So I would venture that bigger
   word “translation” means, but to some people it’s a great service, and
   to them it qualifies as translation. Well, I can see what they want,
   represent the “quality” of translations done by humans and by
   computers, and these graphs depict the latest translation engines as
   being within striking distance of human-level translation. To me,
   represent translation quality is simply an abuse of the external
   the nature of art. And translation is an art.
