One of the biggest problems facing the European Union today is the fact that within its borders, 23 languages are spoken. This means that all the important documents have to be translated by a whole army of translators, which costs the taxpayer more than 1 billion Euros a year - and companies trading within the EU spend millions more. The EU-funded TC-STAR project aims to tackle this issue with technology: a system that eats speech in one language, and outputs that same speech in another.

Unfortunately it does not contain all the stupidities that have been written (chiefly in english) against Esperanto.
I can add that most Esperantists are tired to answer to this kind of arguments and this is a very wise attitude.
How do you react when people tell you that English is rubbish? You politely shut up an think: learn it first properly, asshole!
