Google Translate now includes Esperanto. What about us ?

Esperanto is a great language.

So now they included it into Google Translate service.

I wonder whether it's possible to create a similar tool for lojban in the nearest future.

Not under Google service obviously.

Just a simple "English > Lojban" translator would be a great tool for newbies.

We need a lot more vocabulary to be able to do this. And even if we did,
translating from any natlang to Lojban would be like translating from Basque
to Korean, much harder than English to Esperanto.
