Speaking of Machine Translation...

Have you noticed how no online MT tool (I tried online Systran, Google and Babelfish) is capable of translating transliterated Greek into English?
Given how popular transliteration is for languages with their own "exotic" alphabets, I believe this is an avenue worthy of further exploration.

ISO people experienced in creating automations to:

1) optimize MT input

2) analyze MT-translated output and write post-MT clean up scripts.

3) do MT dictionary customization based on regularized errors.
