Did you know that the very first precursor of machine translation as we know it today is an Italian?
His name is Federico Pucci, and he presented his first study on a “mechanical translator” ninety years ago.
Here is his story: https://translation20.blogspot.com/2019/03/2019-90-years-on-from-federico-puccis.html
Hope you'll enjoy... See more
