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! ==How it works== Powered by [Grammatical Framework ../] Publications explaining the translation method: ==Get the sources== Download from [here ../download/] ==Send us feedback==
