Please Don't Use Google Translate Against Russian Trolls - Bloomberg

Please Don't Use Google Translate Against Russian Trolls - Bloomberg: The first generation of online�translation systems relied on the flawed approach of trying to�teach computers how language was structured. Unfortunately,�living languages tend to disregard�rules. Instead, modern translation engines use statistical analysis, parsing parallel text in different languages to figure out�how a word, a turn of phrase or a sentence is most frequently translated. Coupled with artificial intelligence -- neural translation, Google calls it -- the results are even more impressive because the algorithm looks at whole sentences rather than smaller bits and pieces. Google Translate now uses this approach in multiple languages.
