OR YEHUDA, Israel, February 14 /PRNewswire/ -- Babylon Ltd., the leading provider of single-click translation and information access software, and Wikipedia the free-content, user edited encyclopedia, today announced the launch of the Wikipedia as part of Babylon's solution.

"Our collaboration with Wikipedia is the first of its kind for Babylon". said Alon Carmeli, VP Sales and Marketing, Babylon Ltd.
Dropping our name so as to imply a more active collaboration than downloading a database dump ... that seems slightly questionable behaviour. Unless, of course, there was an active collaboration with Babylon Ltd?
- d.
One thing I was worried about is that Babylon contained spyware for some time. However, it turns out that they already removed it in 2002 to appeal to a professional audience. Anyone worried that Babylon contains spyware should read this:

Otherwise, it's a fairly cool product, since it uses OCR to identify words you click on, so you can even translate stuff from images. I used it all the time when I was still on Windows.

Erm...
I just love the way a company whose entire reason for being is to translate stuff fails to include an English translation: the link at the top of that page where it says "this is also available in English" simply returns to the German copy.
Actually, clicking around that website, I cannot in the short time available find **any** links between the various language versions of what would appear to be the same press releases: they don't even have the same date. It would appear that the Wikipedia press release is only available in German.
Oops much?
Hoi, I do not know if it is a press release, it seems to be much more of a marketing thingie.. There has been a similar e-mail going around in the Dutch language to Babylon customers..
It is a sad thing that there has been no communication over this while it has been well known by a fairly large group outside of the "organisation". This cat has been out of the bag for quite some time now. I think that this is something for our Miss Communication.. :)
Thanks, GerardM
