enough. That was the reason why research on translating machines had gone
continuously.
Then David said that one day he had seen a CD with some programs,
which might help to translate from Russian into English.
John advised David not to waste money and time because all these programs
were unable to produce intelligible translation. They merely substituted Russian
words with English equivalents and did not analyze the relations between the
words of each sentence.
David exclaimed that when translating so many logical processes were
involved. He added that the machine must know much about grammar, and
Russian grammar was so different from English.
John also said that the commonest problem was where a word could have
more than one meaning. A human translator would know which meaning to
choose from the context. But machines had been known to make the wrong
choice because if a machine was to make usable translations, it itself must be
able to extract some, at least, of the meaning of the text. So John concluded
that such machines were much further off and recommended David to study
English hard.
