Browser-based machine translation made easy!
(Technology Note: For those familiar with browser-based machine translation, just skip this and have fun reading El Debate, El Sol de Mazatlan and Noroeste!)
Machine translation has improved greatly in just the past couple of years, but machine translation is also still capable of producing remarkably inaccurate -- and often quite incomprehensible -- translations of news stories.
But for purposes of reading an online newspaper or other news source, machine translation -- however imperfect -- opens up an entire new universe of information for non-Spanish speakers: news and information about Mexico written by Mexicans from a Mexican perspective.
The simplest of news stories are prime examples, offering a look into Mexican life as it is lived today in a way that media filtered for English language readers very rarely can.
