You make a lot of assumptions without evidence for a "forensic" researcher.... Let us know when IBM approves you as a value added distribution partner - lol. You are still proving that your alias should be Dumbo.

The fact is.... you have done no valid research on HRCT China's operations, have not seen HRCT subsidiaries, or talked with any HRCT representatives, subsidiaries or partners....so your opinion of HRCT is immaterial and uneducated… Let's stick to the facts… HRCT has now partnered with IBM, MSFT, China Telecom, Motorola distributor, Legend computer, and a number of well known (in China) Chinese subsidiaries and partnerships… Once again you have shown your vast knowledge of software/hardware development, HRCT and the China environment... Try reading the PR again this time S L O W L Y...lol Then call HRCT and ask for Charlie...you might actually learn something about the company you so diligently bash...and not very good at that…

IBM Enters Software Market for Translating Web Pages Armonk, New York, Jan. 8 (Bloomberg) -- International Business Machines Corp., the world's No. 2 software maker, said it will enter the emerging market for software that automatically translates entire Web pages and e-mail into different languages. IBM's WebSphere Translation Server, to be released in March, will give companies a global Internet presence without requiring Web pages for each language, said Ozzie Osborne, general manager of IBM Voice Systems. It also will allow fast multilingual communications among employees and customers, he added. A few much-smaller companies, including Transparent Language Inc. and France's Systran SA, offer Web-based translation. IBM's new product, however, signals ``a major turning point'' in the market because of IBM's large customer base plus the breadth both of languages offered and of computer operating systems that can run the software, said Steve McClure, a vice president at market researcher IDC. ``Anytime IBM enters an emerging market, it lends an air of legitimacy,'' he said. The IBM product will likely ``accelerate the adoption of machine translation,'' he added. The shares of Armonk, New York-based IBM fell 56 cents to $93.44 in early trading. They had risen 11 percent since Jan. 1. Microsoft Corp. is the world's biggest software maker. On-the-Fly Translation IBM makes clear that no translation software is perfect and that its product is aimed more at general language usage on the Web than technical documents. WebSphere Translation Server will translate back and forth among English, French, German, Spanish and Italian and will translate English to Chinese, Japanese and Korean. ``It gives people translation on the fly where they wouldn't be able to do it before,'' Osborne said. ``Our objective here is not to replace professional translators.'' The software can translate up to 500 words per second and will operate ``in real time'' to convert documents, Web pages, instant messages, e-mail and ``chat'' conversations on the Internet, IBM says. Companies can update the software with their own specialized vocabulary. Deutsche Bank AG's private-banking unit said it will use the software to let 6,500 global employees share documents. IBM is working with a stock exchange to let it offer translated market news, Osborne said. The new product costs $10,000 per language pair, IBM said. Internet usage is growing at a rate three to five times faster outside the United States, compared with U.S. growth, McClure said. Within three to four years, he said, Web usage in Europe will be on a par with usage in the U.S. Jan/08/2001 9:45 ET
