Babylon Aims To Build A ?Quora For Linguistics? Off Its 72 Million Members

Babylon, the publicly listed provider of translation and dictionary software and language solutions, has been around since 1997. Today, the company is launching version 9 of its flagship translation product in an effort to turn it into a veritable 'Quora for linguistics' (their words), referencing the Q&A startup that was launched in June 2009. Babylon says it can leverage some 72 million members to morph its revamped product into a live Q&A linguistics community, allowing users to help one another with any translations, linguistic advice or tips about local culture.
