Internet Language Barriers

Internet Language Barriers 05/26/2004 03:29 PM
To get around the internet, you have to speak the language. And that language is largely English. Not that there aren't other languages that function perfectly well on the internet, but the languages that use non-English characters first have to agree on a character standard. So it might take awhile for an Arabic character standard to be set since the Arabic alphabetic conveys at least four major languages and is widely used in more than 30 countries. With about 4.5 billion non-English speaking people in the world, it should only be a matter of time before the internet is more non-English-friendly.

Breaking Down Language Barriers

Breaking Down Language Barriers 07/18/2004 08:08 PM
One of the big problems in the American presence in Iraq has been a wall of misunderstanding and ignorance brought about by lack of language skills and a lack of information. Machine translation is getting better all the time, and we're seeing some of the results of that improvement here. The gear in the picture is a piece in the puzzle. From a satellite dish outside this tent at the Strong Angel II exercise, it's capturing and recording the Al-Manar TV station, a Hezbollah outlet. U.S. military and aid workers may not like what this and other Arabic stations are broadcasting, but they need to know what's being said -- to know what prominent Arab news outlets are saying about the U.S. occupation of Iraq and other issues. Audio is extracted from the news broadcasts, and converted to text in a speech-to-text program. Then the Arabic text is translated, also by a machine, into English. The results, twice removed from what the announcers have said, are rough approximations. But they capture the gist of the reports. The video, audio and texts (Arabic and English) go into a database. Sean Colbath, senior engineer at the BBN Technologies Speech and Language Processing Group, pulls out items -- short video quotes -- that look especially interesting or relevant to the key topics of the day. He bundles them into a file that goes to a human translator on the mainland, who gives an accurate rendering of what the broadcast snippet actually told the audience. This is a blending of human and machine translation capabilities, and it's a smart one. The machines get us part of the way. Humans capture more subtlety, but machines can winnow out a lot of the dross first. Colbath's gear is just one element in the translation tests here at Strong Angel, where people from the military, civilian, governmental and non-governmental spheres are testing new ways to communicate and collaborate in the aftermath of great human tragedy. Another experiment, which I have yet to see, sounds amazing: a chat in which you input in one language, someone gets your input in a different language and replies in his or her own tongue, which then comes back to you in your language. I'll tell you more when I've seen it up close.

Young Marble Giants

Young Marble Giants 12/06/2003 12:33 AM
To quote their #2 and eponymous fan site, Young Marble Giants' music has been described as "haunting," "enchanting," "dark and strange". It is unusual in that it relies on precise, sparse textures to create tension. Few rock bands have expressed a sense of disquiet with such elegance. Long live Young Marble Giants!

They recorded but one album and yet a vastly influential album it was... Cardiffians: the Young Marble Giants Web archive is, of course, the #1 fan site, and not just for the video. And a very nice commercial-free lyrics page has been provided by Always on the run. (Do check out the pin up!)

Giants kick butt

Giants kick butt 07/31/2004 10:30 PM

Normally I don’t post about baseball here, which is odd, considering what a huge fan of the game I am. But I had to mention this. The Card’s Matt Morris shut the Giants out last time he pitched against them, but after giving up 8 runs in the first inning tonight he’s already been replaced. From a shutout to only going 2/3 of an inning.

Ouch.

The Giants have shown an inability to hold onto a lead the last few weeks, so we’ll see if the 8-0 lead does them a bit of good, especially with Rueter on the mound.
