Google Translator Toolkit

[Darren Cook]

Google's attempt to get human translators to fix their machine
translation output. Or, from another point of view, Google move into the
Translation Memory business:

English is the only source language, but English to Japanese is there.
If they released the resulting TM database it would of course be very
interesting to many on this list, but considering that, in future, they
intend to charge high-volume users I guess that won't happen.
