The short answer is no, she doesn't. The *entire* block of translation
code=
is=20
deleted from her, it's not loaded, not called, not executed. People
abused =
it.=20
They wanted porn, they wanted porn that i didn't want in my irc logs
or on =
my
screen. After that, and no interest from here, i quit all work on
languages=
. I=20
still have the 2+ gigabytes of language data mined up till then,
translatio=
ns,=20
semantic, and syntactic. I stopped work on the Metaphone and Soundex
too, i had both done in Eu, plus one i wrote that worked better than
either=
,
you could specify options.
I know of Altavista, i had Tiggr plugged into Bablefish in the late
1990's.=
Lag=20
was horrible, especially translating (for instance) Italian to German
thru=
Bablefish, which as you know, it doesn't do.
[19:13] <Fuzzness> !t e-s please do not type in capital letters
[19:28] <[Tiggr]> por favor hacer no tipo en may=FAsculas
How's that for lag?!? 15 minutes for Bablefish!!
Here's Spanish to German,, anyone know how correct it was?
<kat> !t s-g esto es un canal de la prueba para el BOT
<[Tiggr]> dieses ist eine F=FChrung des Tests f=FCr das BOT
<kat> !translate g-i das Buch war dort
<[TiggrBot]> l=E0 le livre =E9tait
Things like this made me give up on Bablefish:
<kat> !translate e-f gulp
<[TiggrBot]> groupe d'octets
<kat> !t f-e groupe d'octets
<[TiggrBot]> group bytes
I suppose if i was interesting to anyone, i'd still be doing such work.
