VILNIUS -- If you've ever wanted to email someone in Lithuanianbut didn't want to spend hours slaving away over a dictionary, help is finally at hand.
Vytautas Magnus University has developed an onlinetranslation system capable of turning English into Lithuanian - though sadly, not vice versa.It will also translate whole web pages when a user supplies it with a validurl.
The university was partnered by PROMT,a leading provider of machine translation technologies, and work on theEU-funded project started in Dec. 2006.
Thesystem is reportedly already being used by some 3,000 registered users and isperforming up to 30,000 translations per day.
