As you suggest, a rough translation is fairly easy to provide, but a complete translation will likely require the involvement of a programmer. Then there’s issues with software which is assembled from a multitude of files and references libraries of predefined functions. There are a variety of utilities for converting amongst the more standard programming languages, but I think they are weak when you get away from the text & command line paradigm and move into the modern graphical user interface paradigm. For this project, I wrote a program which automatically handled 90+% of the conversion, but we still needed programmers to handle the final portion. Of course, spoken languages lack a concise symbol structure, which makes translating spoken languages challenging. Spoken languages don’t have to deal with looping/blocking/logic/data structures, which makes translating programming languages challenging. īack in 1999 or thereabouts I participated in a project to convert code from an obscure language called Jovial (which has odd features like arrays which can begin with arbitrary indices other than 0 or 1, and is used in hardware like GPS satellites and military aircraft) to C. This entry was posted in Statistical computing and tagged R by Andrew. We started out by just reading through the riddles one at a time but we had more fun after inventing a game where we’d open the book and read a riddle, then open again at random to give the answer. It’s sort of like when we were kids and had this book, Bennett Cerf’s Book of Riddles-it was a gray with a picture of a big red rock-eater on the cover. you are using the R.app GUI), so please consider if this is the appropriate list” and “The posting guide was not followed” and “Please use the R-devel list to comment on current development versions” would work pretty well for almost any question (maybe after some global sub of Stan for R). I have a feeling that advice such as “PLEASE do, and not send HTML” and “My guess is that this is a Mac-specific question (e.g. The bot would be easy: whatever the question is that comes in, just send back a random tip. Let’s take a successful existing help group-for example, the R-help mailing list-then make a database of the helpful bits of advice of a distinguished and frequent contributor to the list. We were talking about how to build a Stan community that will be helpful to a diverse range of users without taking up too much of our time, and that’s when I came up with a brilliant idea. Or, if I start by translating, I go back and forth to make sure it all makes sense. What I do is try my best to write it in the desired language, but I can try out some tricky words or phrases in the translator. If I want to write a message to someone in French or Spanish or Dutch, I wouldn’t just write it in English and run it through Translate. Google Translate for human languages isn’t perfect either but it’s a useful guide. Wouldn’t it be great if Google Translate could work on computer languages? I suggested this and somebody said that it might be a problem because code isn’t always translatable. Some discussion of revision of the Nuts paper, some conversations about parameterizations of categorical-data models, plans for the R interface, blah blah blah.

Https:/// for translating Latin, Old Norse, and Italian.What we did in our Stan meeting yesterday: Also open to suggestions for mobile apps. The translations are generally okay, but the pinyin doesn't change with the word/context of the character. Mainly looking for a better web translator than. Sorry OP I can't provide a link with the katakana already filled in on Reddit but if you go to Google translate and paste in アサヒナ アオイ you can hear how it is supposed to sound from a helpful robot lady.īest English ↔ Chinese translators by category?

Therefore writing anti-putin stuff in Russian can actually be bannable. A lot of Reddit reviewers are too lazy to use and just say "Yes, that is banned I guess". Kremlin trolls report comments and Reddit reviews them. It's written in Chinese and you can translate it in. What will happen if the world Internet separated to many LANs and then get connected after many years?
