Lingua::Translate version 0.05 ============================== This module performs natural language translation using Babelfish (http://altavista.babelfish.com/) or Systran (http://www.systran.org/) If the test suite (`make test') fails, it may be because Babelfish is overloaded, down or unreachable. I'm in two minds as to whether or not this is a bug :-). Given that most users won't have a configured SysTran server available, the test script for that works in a different way and doesn't have the same problem. INSTALLATION ON A DEBIAN SYSTEM To build this tarball into a debian package: 1. Ensure you have a build environment; run the following command as root apt-get install build-essential fakeroot 2.

Unicode::MapUTF8 Lingua::Translate::Babelfish backend: HTML::TokeParser LWP::UserAgent Lingua::Translate::SysTran backend: IO::Socket::INET (standard) The module will cope without Unicode::MapUTF8, but no attempt will be made to convert strings passed to and from the back end - the Babelfish back-end uses UTF-8, whereas the SysTran back-end uses ISO-8859-1.
