=What you can expect=
The program is designed to translate anything, just like Google translate and Bing. It has some advantages over them:
- It uses **grammars** (as opposed to statistics), which makes it more correct in many cases.
- It is **open source**, which means you can inspect, copy, and modify it in what ever way you want.
- It is **light weight**, so that you can run it on your own computer and even on a smartphone.
- It gives you **linguistic information**, such as word inflections.
- It gives you **confidence information**, warning about translations that it is not so sure about.
However, this is not a mature product but a research prototype. It therefore has some shortcomings:
- It has **limited coverage**, which means that it misses many words and syntactic constructions.
- It can be **clumsy**, for instance when it doesn't detect an idiom but translates too literally.
- It can be **slow**, in particular with long sentences and with some input languages.
Here are some hints to use it in a satisfactory way:
- Start with short sentences (less than ten words), preferably from English or Swedish, to get an idea of the best performance.
- Take a look at the alternative translations, in particular for sentences with low confidence level.
- Send us feedback, and consider contributing to the improvement of the system!
