List of machine translation software

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Machine translation software is available in a variety of formats and licenses.

[edit] Free and open-source software

There is a discussion of open-source machine translation software at the Wikimedia Machine Translation Project. In summary, there are some good dictionary software/data and some reasonable translation memories, but no fully fledged open source systems yet.
