     35 #### Machine Translation, Manu Raster
     36 
     37 > The topic I would like to present is "Machine Translation" and it is in
     38 > the spirit of Douglas Hofstadters destructive critique¹ and my own
     39 > critique of Franz-Josef Ochs² concepts of translation from a history of
     40 > science point of view. In comparison to the early beginnings (Bar-Hillel
     41 > 1960 "The Present Status of Automatic Translation of Languages") little
     42 > progress has been made. In particular I will explain
     43 > 
     44 > - why engineers use intermediate languages (IL) and why they suck
     45 >  - analogies between code generation and literature translation
     46 >  - keywords: philologists and barbarians, the babelfish-device, binary-size sanity
     47 > - how translation fails on IL-level and surface level (destination language)
     48 > - what a good computer assisted translation tool for advanced users can
     49 >   achieve such as an Acme-based tool³
     50 > 
     51 > and present reproducable examples where Google Translate™ and its
     52 > epigones fail systematically.

     72 
     73 > Acme is the editor of choice in plan9. I don't use it but when trying
