In a meeting at Google in 2004, the discussion turned to an e-mail message the company had received from a fan in South Korea. Sergey Brin, a Google founder, ran the message through an automatic translation service that the company had licensed.

The message said Google was a favorite search engine, but the result read: “The sliced raw fish shoes it wishes. Google green onion thing!”

Mr. Brin said Google ought to be able to do better. Six years later, its free Google Translate service handles 52 languages, more than any similar system, and people use it hundreds of millions of times a week to translate Web pages and other text.

구글 번역 서비스는 구글 CEO가 한글을 제대로 번역하려고 시작했다는 얘기가 돌았는데,
같은 얘기가 2010년도 뉴욕타임즈에 실려있어서 가져와봤어요 ㅋㅋㅋ

* 브린이 받았던 "The sliced raw fish shoes it wishes. Google green onion thing!”는
"회(The sliced raw fish) 신(Shoes) 바랍니다.(It wishes) 구글(Google) 파(Green onion) 이팅!(Thing)" -이라고 하네요 ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
