[lojban-beginners] Lojban is poor for machine translation



"Loglans are poor MT interlinguas" - http://www.rickharrison.com/language/mtil.html

Most of you would probably know of this article, which argues that the syntax of Lojban is overly complex; sumti place structures are too rigid and counter-intuitive; that an artificial language would be more difficult to translate into natural languages as opposed to natural language to natural language translation; that required pauses are unnatural and impractical; and that the compound words are difficult for ML to translate.

What is your view of this argument?
