Logos Translation Technology
Logos translation technology was developed by Logos Corporation (1970-2001), a company dedicated to God at its inception. The remarkable story of this company is told here. The technology had been used by governments and multinational firms in 10 countries. Although the company closed its doors in 2001, its technology was taken over by a German technology institute (DFKI) and is now available on the Internet for free as OpenLogos.
