My wife's son, Florian Jerusalem, has been hired by WMG to write Machine translation support for the German Language. Florian is from Schaag near the Netherlans border and is staying with us this year. Florian is fluent in German, English, and French,
At present, the lexicons are nearing completion for over 500,000 German words and phrases and a translating web proxy is also being developed along with Wikipedia support. Although the German Language has an impressive Wiki, machine translated versions will be published at WikiGadugi as well very soon as well. Florian will be returning to Germany later this year, and will probably try to sync up with the German Wikipedia Chapter at some point.
Florian is 20 years old.
