This may be the wrong group to ask. If so please let me know if there is a better one, thanks. My wife is doing some research in English history (13th, 14th century stuff) and to accomplish this she needs to translate many latin documents. Things like letters, notes on the king's/nobleman's movements, etc. The question is: Is there anywhere an automatic translation program that will take latin and produce english (or at least present several options as to how to parse the sentences?) Any information in these directions is welcome. I will be watching each of the news groups listed on the header, but would appreciate email if you feel that the subject does not warrent general discussion. Thanks very much -Roe McBurnett rdm2@bcr.cc.bellcore.com (908)699-2273 {rutgers,att}!bcr!rdm2 Roe D McBurnett III Bellcore (908)699-2273 rdm2@chaucer.cc.bellcore.com #insert <std.disclamer>

I have experimented a little with Latin parsers but have never heard of any commercial translation software for Latin. The market would be rather small, and classics graduate students can be hired more cheaply than computers. -- ------------------------------------------------------- Michael A.

A recent issue of Byte magazine (March 1991?) reviewed several machine translation packages.
