My interview with Steven Bartlett on The Diary Of A CEO is out now.

In 1979, Swiss UBS translation consultant Jean-Claude Margot (1924–2019) wrote in Traduire sans trahir that machine translation, if ever possible, was 150 years off. He was wrong about MT in general but we'll see about Bible translation in particular...
