[Taxacom] Latin anyone?

[Neal Evenhuis]

Botany taxonomists rejoice.

All you who are in desperate need of being able to translate from or 
translate to Latin, Google has finally got something for you to play 
with:

http://translate.google.com/?hl=en&tab=pT#la|en|

It is in "alpha", so there might well be some bugs. However, right 
now I quite fancy the quasi vellum-like background and serif typeface 
it uses for words translated into Latin.

Granted, there are a few other Latin translators online (however, 
most do one word at a time -- this can do pages of text at a time), 
and this one seems to beat them all by far with an algorithm that 
seems to include quite a lot of morphological structures and other 
scientific terminology. It's not perfect (having tried a few 
paragraphs), but ....

Have fun ... or be frustrated if it doesn't work for you, whichever 
comes first.
