Actually, SYSTRAN is a French company and their software is used for
machine-assisted translation in de EU (imagine, here in Europe we have a
government level that uses more than 20 official languages that
everything has to be translated to and from...).

The problem is, those translations are made by professional translators
who use it to assist them where possible, but fix all (or at least most
of) the errors made.

Maybe they have a more expensive & better version too; I don't think
SYSTRAN wants the EU to start using Google or Babelfish instead of the
expensive licensed software that provides SYSTRAN with a consistent
income now.  ;-)
