[lojban] Re: fosay translator
Hi, Zoltan,
what do you think of this idea: http://www.halfbakery.com/idea/Logish
If we were to use "carefully redesigned English" as the pivot language,
I guess, the numbers of people who could contribute would be much greater.
Couldn't the Lojban community leverage its expertise to redesign English, and create such a language, - Logical English?
Then we any programmer who knows English could write a website in it, and have it in all languages immediately.

My name is Zoltan Kochan. I'm working on an Interlingual Machine
translator. I've started it for 3 natural languages: English,
Hungarian and Ukrainian.
But I'm a big fan of constructed languages and I've realized that
Lojban can be used as a good pivot-language during machine
translation. That's why I've chosen it's dictionary for representing
meaning during the translation process.
It's not a super-translator... hopefully yet. But it can translate
many types of simple and complex sentences in any! direction between
the added languages. And it has the ability of extending itself with
other (custom) languages. I've "invented" ATNL and CWS for describing
the grammar and the dictionary of any other language.
Anyway, it's an open-source project (https://code.google.com/p/fosay/)
and anybody can download it, try it, have fun with it:)
And I'll be very grateful for any kind of help! Somebody can help me
with filling the dictionaries. Others can support the development
process (It's written in Python 3).
