What you can expect

+ +

+The program is designed to translate anything, just like Google translate and Bing. It has some advantages over them: +

+ +

It uses grammars (as opposed to statistics), which makes it more correct in many cases. +
It is open source, which means you can inspect, copy, and modify it in what ever way you want. +
It is light weight, so that you can run it on your own computer and even on a smartphone. +
It gives you linguistic information, such as word inflections. +
It gives you confidence information, warning about translations that it is not so sure about. +

+ +

+However, this is not a mature product but a research prototype. It therefore has some shortcomings: +

+ +

It has limited coverage, which means that it misses many words and syntactic constructions. +
It can be clumsy, for instance when it doesn't detect an idiom but translates too literally. +
It can be slow, in particular with long sentences and with some input languages. +

+ +

+Here are some hints to use it in a satisfactory way: +

+ +

Start with short sentences (less than ten words), preferably from English or Swedish, to get an idea of the best performance. +
Take a look at the alternative translations, in particular for sentences with low confidence level. +
Send us feedback, and consider contributing to the improvement of the system! +
