New translation portal launched
from PR Leap
Babelport.com Is a new translation portal, launched in February 2005. It has been developed and is maintained by cpi service of Leipzig, Germany.
I have visited the site. It looks professional and interesting. however, I have some doubts about how many such portals may remain viable, especially given the huge lead that such portals as ProZ seem to have as regards the number of members already signed.

Just from the last few days:

- "Interpreters lost in translation" (about the fact that in order to be an interpreter, being bilingual is not enough)
- "Nothing lost in translation in Pollack's 'Interpreter'" (about a new movie set at the UN)
- "Lost in Translation" (about a TV show)

Software learns to translate by reading up
from New Scientist
This looks interesting, although the press release is over a month old. It describes a new technique for machine translation.
I just stumbled on it while I was searching for other information on a Microsoft blog.
