Unless you want “Ice Cream in the a*s” use Yandex for Russian MT, or better still a human!

June 4, 2012 By Doug Lawrence 1 Comment

The picture below, of a mistranslation from a Russian Menu, has been circulating on Facebook. “в асс.” is short for ассортимент or assortment, meaning choice – and has been badly mistranslated.     […]

February 29, 2012 By Doug Lawrence Leave a Comment

Following on from my post about the launch of the Reputation ranking of Top 100 Russian LSPs in December 2011 (#100buro). I’m please to announce it is now available in English. The ranking has been criticised by some (especially as it differs from financial measures). However the method is published on the site, and I hope, for one, that the Ranking will continue to be published, improve over time, and become an increasingly […]

Bing Machine Translation added to Facebook … in case you didn’t already know

February 2, 2012 By Doug Lawrence Leave a Comment

OK I’m probably not the first to spot Facebook offering Bing Machine Translation, indeed a few of my friends said they’d noticed this a week or so again. And when I “Googled” this (other search engines are available) there were plenty of pages dedicated to predicting how useful or successful this feature will be. The “horse’s mouth” […]
