International Computer Productrs at 346 N. Western Ave., Los Angeles,
CA 90004 (213) 462-8381 might be able to help your friend with questions
about IPA. This company recently enhanced two of its products.
[Edited from "Random Access, Sept. 1987] "Learn Spanish and Learn German
... after a user enters a sentence in English, the computer acts as
an interpreter and displays the translation within seconds.....The
programs also employ artificial intelligence to ensure that grammar,
gender, conjugation and the composition of words within the translated
sentences are correcft.  After studying the translation, users also
now have the option of saving each sentence by creating a text file.
Later on, they can recall this file and edit it with any word
processor to compose a letter or similar type of transcript in
Spanish or German.  Both programs contain a resident vocabulary
allowing users to create over 80,000 possible phrase compositions."

I don't know what other language programs this company has available
but this article was very interesting.
