Simple lookup dictionaries that translate, correctly, single words or
short phrases are widespread; I have several on my iPhone, and Mac OS
ships a Systran widget with its OS X Dashboard. This is machine
translation. It may differ from Babelfish or Systren or Google web-
page translation, but it is done by a machine nonetheless, and is
reliable and accurate.
