| Abstract: | Accessibility to other language web
documents has always been a concern for information professionals. Many
translation tools such as Babelfish and Google Translator are extensively used
by librarians and information professionals to meet the varying demand of their
users. These tools though do not produce exact translated verse but provides
gist of the information that could be used by the librarians to understand the
type of information contained in the document. Thus, it is important for
librarians and information professionals to know about the various
possibilities available for translation as well as the technology being used
for it. The papers follow ups the different approaches used for mechanization
of translation process along with a discussion over their features and
limitations. The study concludes with
the remark that dependency of library and information professionals over available
translation tools should be up to certain extent, i.e., only for the initial
sorting of the document. The translation
tools available cannot be used as regular content analysis tool. |
