Ever wanted to write something simple in Egyptian? How about Babylonian or Sumerian? Now all you have to do is go on-line and type it in. It does not appear, however, that this can be relied on except in terms of simple words and short phrases. It may even butcher those. And it will definitely not be of any use in terms of digital translation of ancient documents… If something like Altavista’s Babelfish or the myriads of other on-line translators can’t even adequately translate a moderate German sentence into English (or vice versa), I think there is not much hope of an ancient language working any better. But it is amusing!
