Google Translate Drops Systran For Home Brewed Translation
Google Operating System reports that Google Translate has dropped using Systran as the technology used by Google for translations. Google now uses their own home brewed version of translation technology to translate between the 25 languages available.
Yahoo's Babel Fish still uses Systran technology, so if you are in a compare and contrast mood, you can compare the two. Google's technology was created by Google's research group and uses statistical machine translation. Google's approach is a bit different from other approaches.
