westmeadboy Posted October 29, 2009 at 05:51 AM Report Posted October 29, 2009 at 05:51 AM Just wanted to let people (with Android smartphones) know about this free app. When you receive an SMS (in a language other than the phone's) it will automatically append the translation to the end (using Google Translate). You can see some screenshots/examples here: http://www.androlib.com/android.application.com-embermitre-autotranslatesms-ziAB.aspx Quote
tooironic Posted October 29, 2009 at 06:39 AM Report Posted October 29, 2009 at 06:39 AM Oh God. As if Machine Translation wasn't dodgy enough, now they're going to try their hand at translating SMS language which is even more non-standard and context-dependent. Oh well, should make for some hilarious results. Quote

westmeadboy Posted October 29, 2009 at 01:02 PM Author Report Posted October 29, 2009 at 01:02 PM I get mixed results from it. But it does translate automated messages from China Mobile really well, so that's something I guess! Quote
