Lost in Translation

Lost in Translation is a steganographic encoder that exploits the possibilities of steganographically embedding information in the "noise'' created by automatic translation of natural language documents. Because natural language translation inherently creates plenty of room for variation, it is ideal for steganographic applications. Also, because there are frequent errors in legitimate automatic text translations, additional errors inserted by an information hiding mechanism are plausibly undetectable and would appear to be part of the normal noise associated with translation.
