Example of Machine Translation

Dear JALT.

I recently lost my job due to the collapse of the language teaching profession in Japan. I do not speak Japanese but I can use the AltaVista machine translation system to communicate with the local people. I hope, therefore, you can find me a job.

Yours sincerely. Michael Cribb
