I'm a post-doctoral researcher studying Computational Linguistics at Dublin City University. CL has to do with computers and how they can interpret natural languages such as English, Irish, French, German etc. Here's a site that gives a brief overview, it was done as a fourth year project so don't expect too much!



The National Centre for Language Technology
[http://nclt.computing.dcu.ie]
This Centre is based in DCU and is carrying out research in several different areas of natural language processing.
A list of on-line translation tools

Mostly On-line lexica which translate to and from several languages
