I'm regularly impressed by just how good Google Translate is. I wonder if we'll reach a point where translation tools replace foreign language dictionaries for language learners? A dictionary might say a word has 5 meanings, but a translation tool can consider the context.

Fascinating, dynamic @alvinkcheung talk at @strangeloop_stl on using Program Synthesis to translate code snippets! https://casper.uwplse.org/

I am amazed that Google Translate correctly understands '雅格獅丹' to mean 'Aquascutum'. Statistical methods win the day again.
