Publisher's Summary
The dream of a universal translation device goes back many decades, long before Douglas Adams's fictional Babel fish provided this service in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Since the advent of computers, research has focused on the design of digital machine translation tools - computer programs capable of automatically translating a text from a source language to a target language. This has become one of the most fundamental tasks of artificial intelligence. This volume in the MIT Press Essential Knowledge series offers a concise, nontechnical overview of the development of machine translation, including the different approaches, evaluation issues, and market potential. The main approaches are presented from a largely historical perspective and in an intuitive manner, allowing the reader to understand the main principles without knowing the mathematical details.

Great and clear overview of the subject
Good narrator for a normally difficult subject to listen to. The book covers the beginnings of the need and hopes for machine translation, the discoveries and difficulties found along the way and the upcoming theories that need to be researched and their results should these projects be brought to completion. Overall a great book to listen to, clear and very informative.
