History
In 1999, Babylon formed a strategic partnership with The New York Times to provide online translation services of the articles contained on nytimes.com. Then, in 2000, Babylon.com offered a shareware version of its translation software that received critical acclaim by ZDNet.http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m0EIN/is_2000_July_19/ai_63558354/ From there, Babylon.com continued to negotiate the integration of their translation services onto websites and downloadable programs while their independent translation software was improved.http://www.babylon.com/display.php?id=7&tree=7&level=1
