when google initially started its translation system, it was plain terrible... it was below google standards that we have got used to.... then google started system where users can suggest translation... i don't whether that helped in any way, or its just google engineers imporved the tranlsation facility.... now if we look at google translate and once translation leader (free, altavista's bablefish, now yahoo babelfish), google has gone far ahead of babelfish
may be one day when we try to read mails in different languages... plugins would automatically call google to translate stuff and add the new translated stuff alongwith the mail.... its an obvious solution to the need to tranlation.... but junk US patent system will issue a patent for this
i once heard of a patent application for 'a mail viewer plugin, which would allow user to click reply and then the reply would be taken as voice input(that is you can use your mouth instead of hands)' .... is this really innovation.... but US patent system is so dumb it would accept it
