No, translation is NOT simple. It's a lot more than just word
replacement. You need to look at the syntax rules, idioms, and even the
different definitions for a single word.

In fact, there's so much to it even the best programmers haven't come up
with a decent translator after years of trying and improving.

For instance - translating your text above to French and back to English
gives:

whoever has the translators in line préétablirs? I obtained to give the
responsability it to build one but him if the traslate of great pieces
of text immediately - up to 5000 words! ! ! Traslation is simple -
replacement right of words. How to create the correct dictionary - dB
based or file with the flat text? I seek the manner of gaining speed
like possible as much. I realize - (nonsure) which convinient are to
read all the dictionary in parasitic information (native = foreign) and
to change the words then flies over. But what if the dictionary is too
large to adapt the RAM of the waiter? Thus I am not sure about this method.


Other languages are worse.
