POLYGLOT: A MULTILINGUAL GROUP SUPPORT SYSTEM
Milam W Aiken, Mahesh Vanjani · Issues in Information Systems · 2009
This paper describes a new, locally developed Internet-based electronic group support system that automatically translates among 34 languages through a linkage with Google Translate.The overall accuracy rate was only 86%, but near perfect accuracy might not be needed for informal, information gathering group meetings in which ideas are often redundant and can be rephrased.Further, the translation speed advantage might offset this weakness.
