<P>Google Translate has added Latin to the ever-expanding list of
languages the free service offers. In <A title=http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2010/09/veni-vidi-verba-verti.html href="http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2010/09/veni-vidi-verba-verti.html">a post
to the official Google blog</A> titled <EM>'Veni, Vidi, Verba
Verti' </EM>(which the service translates as <EM>'I came, I saw, I
translated the words'</EM>), <EM>Igeniarius Programmandi </EM>Jakob
Uszkoreit correctly points out that – although it isn't likely to
be used to translate emails (with some exceptions, maybe) – the new
service is an excellent tool for scholars all over the world as many
ancient and medieval works on philosophy, religion and science are
written in Latin, many of those available in Google Books.</P>
<P>Uszkoreit is convinced the system – still in alpha – will soon
deliver accurate translations, as Latin grammar and vocabulary ceased
evolving and Google is using the 'thousands' of Latin books already
translated to a variety of languages to train the system. As an
example he quotes Caesar's 'The Gallic Wars'. Yet, when put to the
test regarding Caesar's conquest of Pharnaces, Google Translate gets a
bit confused (depending on punctuation):</P>

Neanderthal locomotion. The Laboratory of Anatomy, Biomechanics
and Organogenesis' (LABO for short) project created a 3D virtual
reconstruction of a pair of Neanderthal lower limbs.<BR> <BR>The
skeleton shows the Neanderthals had the same moves as we do – and

<P>Homonids (that includes all forms of the human lineage, be it extinct
or living) started bipedal locomotion (moving by means of your two rear
limbs or, in our case, legs) some 6 million years ago. When you
compare our 'modern man' gait to that of our fellow hominids, man takes
giant steps. But what about the Neanderthals? To which degree is
their locomotion comparable to ours?</P>
