New Translator Blog? Looks like it. He is posting about Jean Hardoin, aptly described as Christian, Scholar, Translator and Kook. In any case, let's throw him a link: Machine Translation - How to program common sense?

Online Translators. A lot of people come to this site looking for them. So here's a compilation of some online translation tools, powered by machine translation. None of them are reliable at this point, in fact they are more like gobbledegook generators. So if you're looking for an accurate translator, hire a human translator. There are several translator directories on the Internet, which you can search for free. I recommend ProZ and ForeignWord, but you can also try your luck at the Google Directory or at the Open Directory Project. In addition to the obvious online translators, I tried to include some supporting rarer language combinations.
