Comment on Lorem Ipsum translated by Google

Comments

Google Translate uses statistical machine translation [1] seeded from a gigantic automatically curated parallel corpus of similar documents.

As"lorem ipsum" is a typographic placeholder, the filled in version appears appears to have the same document structure (HTML) and would therefore be statistically likely candidates as translatable pairs.
