RE: translation server

I'd scope out the competition on the translation server.  One of the main
ones would be IBM.  IIRC it's tied into Websphere as an add-on, but they
could probably unbundle it as a standalone without too much trouble, and may
already offer it...  (Don't want to rain on the parade, but they got a
head-start on ya...)

| If we could make a translation server (running on a PC with one of
| the mechanical translation programs) and serve it up to the AS/400
| thru TCP/IP and a callable object (or on a web server as an ASP
| object) would this be of any use to anybody? I think it handles
| English to and from Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, French, and
| German. We might also be able to do Russian.
|
| I'm in love with the idea, but I don't know if it is of any
| practical use to anyone.
|
| Or how about a USA phonebook server, same functionality. We use
| this sort of thing to look up phone numbers of incoming calls on
| caller id and create default fields for data entry.
