I figured I would share this with you guys, this is an excellent translator that conjugates correctly and everything, it even has a speech component that reads the sentence for you in a native tone!!!!! I'm so excited, I've been typing things in for the past 20 minutes :D Enjoy!! -DK1 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

An unbelievable improvement over existing translators (which are junk). Thanks for the link! Edited by Gatsby on 01 September 2009 at 11:01pm 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Amazing! Their German translation is really good, even though it does not get idioms. I also noticed them reshaping a sentence when translating to Chinese, for a somewhat better result than other translators would give. Their Chinese to English translations are still not usable though; it reversed the sense of one sentence and jumbled the words of the rest.

Certainly not perfect, but still far better than any other machine. Does anyone know what technique they're using?

Narrator- It's based off of thousands of things that native speakers send the company, like conjugated translations, and if it doesn't give the right translation and you're a native, you can send them a correction :D

That may be correct for one or more language pairs, but I doubt if that applies to all language pairs. I just compared Reverso to Google Translate using two different large paragraphs for Dutch into English. Both did quite well but to me, Google Translate was better. Surprisingly, for these two paragraphs, the combination of the best of both would provide an excellent translation. So for translations L2 into L1, using both would really help improve translations into your native language. It would be interesting if our forum members could test Reverso and Google Translate (and others they think are very good) for a number of language pairs (in both directions). In particular, I'd like to see a Dutch native speaker compare these two for English into Dutch. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||
