Teresa Lynn is a computational linguist who specialises in technology and Irish language. She visits Darach, Gearóidín and Ola on today's episode to defend machine translation from all the misguided criticism it's been getting. She also talks about how systems like Bing and Google Translate work, emergency translation and the phenomenon of code switching.
