Computer Translation of Natural Language - Tapa blanda

This book attacks the problems of natural language translation on two fronts. The first part is concerned with the general problems associated with the machine translation of natural languages. A survey is presented of the various approaches that have been used, leading up to the most recent advances and current avenues of research in language translation and understanding. In the second part, a simplified method is presented which translates individual words into numeric representation prior to re-translation into any chosen natural language. This method is presented in a form suitable for use on microcomputers including the IBM-PC and BBC computers and clearly demonstrates the usefulness of small systems in this type of work.
