For some years now, I have been interested in the use of personal computers in botanical research. In contrast, the arena of language translation is generally very poorly served, although it always seemed to me to be a rich field for the application of computers.
Bilingual dictionaries are available, in printed form, and increasingly, on computer.
These often ignore case, declension and other real-world problems of translation. They also usually ignore the idiomatic nature of language. My interest in botanical Latin was fostered by W.T. Stearn's famous tome, and led me to explore the possibility of translation of the relatively well-structured language as employed in descriptions and diagnoses. Shortcuts are available, of course, where the endings are known to be common to all numbers or genders etc. Numbers are ignored.
