“The translator, based on sentence/phrase/word substitution,
is said to be more accurate than Babelfish.”

“A new machine-translator designed for language translation has
offically opened for public testing. GPLTrans is a translator
similiar to Babelfish. Pre-alpha testing has shown that it is the
most accurate of the major Web-based machine translators.

“GPLTrans does not compromise speed for accuracy either.
According to tests a three-sentence blurb was converted from
English to Spanish in 0.35-0.60 seconds.
