Despite several companies claiming to have achieved parity with human translation this particular frontier at present remains wild and unconquered. It’s both strange and fascinating that with all the smart technology in our lives today, machines still haven’t conquered the complex art of language translation. Home

One of the most common misconceptions about languages is concerning language variants. American and British English, European and Latin American Spanish are some examples. Portuguese is no exception and it is not unusual for people to believe one version is adequate to all Portuguese-speaking countries (Angola, Brazil, Cape Verde, Guinea-Bissau, Mozambique, Portugal, and São Tomé […]
