Translation tools

Wordle: FAUST

Do you use automatic translators?
Which ones do you use?
How do you use them? E.g. do you translate just a word, or a whole text you wrote in your own language?
How often do you use them?
What do you use them for?
How well do you think they work?
Can they substitute the human translator?

How do these machines work? What is their underlying principle/method?


I listen to CLICK, the BBC's podcast on technology, and on July 19th I learned about FAUST.
Listen to the programme (minutes 10:25 -13:55)

What is FAUST?
Where does the money come from?
What do they want to achieve?

Listen first, then find more information here.
