Low Level Language Suggestions: OT

[Colin Brace]

Victor,

If you are talking about human language translation, which I gather you are,
then the amount of effort you will need to spend on developing and/or
acquiring linguistic resources and/or building interfaces for linguists to
code dictionaries and grammars, and/or interfaces for editors to render the
output in a decent form, and/or tools to clean up the input, will far
outweigh in importance the computational efficiency of your algorithms.
Deciding between C++, Java, or Python etc. will be the very least of your
problems...
