I Have a Question!

Estoy probando la tecnología. Se trata de español en caso de que usted se está preguntando.

I assume Tetchie (Response # 15 of this discussion.) would have that answer! Computers seem to have no difficulty with seemingly unfathonable problems of unimaginable proportions!

Hi Asylum, there would be and are limitations because of diacritics and symbols, such as Russian which is far removed from the English alphabet. As I tried to translate into Russian, well it did on the translator site, but you could not communicate it on this forum. And it is likely that at the moment the gramma becomes mayonnaise. Technology as it is and the amazing work of people behind the scenes the clumsiness will be addressed in time. It's a bit like when people of non-english speaking backgrounds come on here and their english is broken, it is accounted for by the reader knowing it is a second language. It still is a great facility to break down language barriers even if it's not perfect.

I knew there were such things as Translator programs on a computer but I too was very surprised. I immediately began to use bigger words and never fazed her until I used, "Really!" as an exclamation. She asked me what that meant, so I explained it to her

I wonder if someone had to program every word in a program in the forst place...i guess they would have to do this...

Do you suppose these,"raw Scots" will ever learn to speak English? I'm wondering if they really do speak like this, or is it a publicity act, Much like the Klingon spoken in Star Trek, by Starship fleet members Chekof and Uhura?

Probably the best way to learn English is to strike out and wing it, as you are doing!I admire you for your winning attitude!

The possibilies of this would be endless!

Thank you Rongle86 for your input! If your English is Poor, your translator program is Good, as I can understand your Post very well. Can you tell me where you purchased your translator Program? Did it come with your computer?

I've also heard it said that English is the hardest language to learn, but on a tour of East Asia last year I was dumbfounded when in Laos, not one word of English was anywhere to be seen. The situation gets desperate when you are Hungry and the Menu reads like a Star Trek list of configurations!

Yes I was amazed and the amazement remains with me! I knew such a thing existed but that was the extent of my Knowledge.

Yes, I never thought to ask her where she got the translator program. Its possible the cost has gone down. There are many populations that would benefit from using the English language on the computer. English is the Business Language of the world!

Yes she spoke English like a College Grad. Its possible she was pulling my Leg, but I'd swear she for real! Thats one reason I'm looking for info!

Thanks for that williamjisir! Finally we are learning something about an existing Translator! Perhaps Yahoo's Translator is an early effort which did not command much interest in North America. I've noticed many Asians on myLot and their success with English is what prompted me to ask this question.

No One really Knows what myLot wants, but I can't see any problems with a translator Program, but I can imagine the work that would go into creating such a program! This would make it too expensive to give away. It would be like rewriting the dictionary in every language. The logistics of this is mind-boggling!

Estoy tratando de adivinar lo que estás pensando. ¿Está asustado

El infierno, me preguntan si mi traductor programas vienen from.In hecho, no son realmente programs.They son sólo algo, usted sabe, traducir en línea y son libres
