huaqiao06 Posted November 8, 2008 at 04:46 PM Report Share Posted November 8, 2008 at 04:46 PM can anyone recommend a program for PC or PDA that can translate Chinese sentences or blocks of text, not just phrases? If it can also do English to Chinese, even better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

huaqiao06 Posted November 8, 2008 at 10:20 PM Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2008 at 10:20 PM yeah I already use that. pretty sketchy results, the new dictionary function is good but again it only works for phrases Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tooironic Posted November 10, 2008 at 01:32 AM Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 at 01:32 AM For what purpose are you needing this software? In any case machine translation has yet to develop as a viable translation method, and I certainly haven't seen any programs, PDAs, websites, etc which can translate accurately anything above the phrase level. This is mainly because computers can't distinguish between the nuances of context that make translation such a complex process. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
