Not sure what to make of this – but one thing for sure it is a busy day for community translation projects! This is an add on for Firefox – it claims to translate any web page for free using a mixture of MT and HT translation. Wowser. The bit that gets me is the MT plus Human Translation (HT). Basically it looks to the Firefox community to better anything that the machine translation engine spits back – this is then stored and used as a first call suggestion next time round. This is basically the same underpinning as virtually all continuous improvement hybrid engines – but here the scale is the entire world wide web – the browser being the point of connection. In some commentary around this it also speaks to the idea that in this model web sites don’t need to localize/ translate – they can just publish in their native language and the World Wide Lexicon solution will take care of the rest – the visitor not the content creator would take care of the translation – MT first, and improved with Human translation. If this catches on I wonder just how many pages would get translated – how many pages do people think “should” be in their language enough to help out? Of course if Facebook get thier patent this might just end in a law suit of course
