    Let me know what you think of this post =]

    It's basically geared towards non-lojbananas talking about how
    Google could use lojban for its translations engine and it should
    offer it as a language. Request it:
    translation-services@google.com

    The trouble with using Lojban for their translation engine is that it
    is entirely statistical in nature (in fact, it processes language in
    exactly the way that the example sentence "colorless green ideas sleep
    furiously" was invented to claim as an impossibility), so its best
    interlanguage is one with massive heaps of parallel text lying around
    between that and all the other languages.

    Lojban would be nice, but we don't have enough of a corpus yet.

    Not that I wouldn't love having Lojban available from Google in other
    ways, of course. That would be great.
