So basically, with one UNL Wikipedia it becomes very easy to have Wikipedias in all languages that have a UNL converter... Guaka 19:27, 7 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]


Hi,

The external link "The patent on language translation" links to...

Switch mode power supply with reduced switching losses http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO2&Sect2=HITOFF&p=1&u=/netahtml/search-bool.html&r=1&f=G&l=50&co1=AND&d=ptxt&s1='United+Nations'.ASNM.&OS=AN/%22United+Nations%22&RS=AN/%22United+Nations%22

... i.e. nothing related to UNL (and it is strange, because the link suggests it has something to do with UN).

I observed this too, and commented away the link. (Now the search links up to a patent on some plant or plant growth thingie, BTW). Since this patent statement is put under doubts, we may consider finding statements on this on the UN site, or else remove the dubious patenting statement. ... said: Rursus (bork²) 21:12, 8 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
There are patents: see UNDL property. US patents 6,704,700 and 7,107,206. The idea was to make UNL the property of all nations, but since OpenSource is custom among volunteers ... ... said: Rursus (bork²) 21:34, 8 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Critic

The UNDL foundation was founded in 2001, but the UNL project is older than that. In 1999 it was already announced, and heavily criticized, as explained in this article. I have been browsing the web pages of UNDL from time to time, and AFAICS there has been no progress in latest years: they published a book explaining what UNL is, but no software. At the same time, many web sites representing research groups on UNL simply disappeared, see e.g. the list of links in this web page. I am no expert in the field, but IMHO this looks as a dead project. An expert in this field should update this wikipedia entry and, if I am right, state this fact. --Mennucc (talk) 12:04, 28 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
