> CDac, Thiruvananthapuram has been trying to develop algorithms for automatic translation for Malayalam for a decade and often they were telling in public seminars that they have achieved 50% or 60% (as in the case of Malayalam OCR). Many money and talents have been spent for the research. I was telling from the very beginning that Malayalam is not a language like English of French and the efforts and methodology should be completely re-checked and redefined, other wise you are not going to achieve a satisfactory result in hundred years. I think Google is also travelling in the same wrong direction.
