And it is proving worth

SDL announced the acquisition of Language weaver a few days ago, so it seems that statistical translation does work and does represent a very important resource for the language industry. The interesting part is that this kind of translation empowers the companies to reach other markets maybe not reached by some companies YET. You can read the article about the acquisition and hear interviews on the matter here. I'm sure you will find them very interesting. Still this is a topic that calls for a lot of analysis and discussion, so I will write a more detailed article in the next days.
