Cute. But not right at all. Franklin was known for the succinctness and clarity of his expression, not the wordiness of it. The translation generated by this program is twice as long as the original. I don’t think the writings of Franklin were used as a model at all. In fact, the translation sounds to my ear less like 18th century English, and 20th century Hollywood’s imitation of 18th century English. The “I did venture” structure with all the unneccessary “dids” may sound “old timey” to some, but bears little resemblance to the 18th-century texts I have read. This sounds more like someone imitating the dialog in Shakespeare. “You all did see that on the Lupercal I thrice presented him a kingly crown, Which he did thrice refuse:” there you have those dids. Even in 1600, I think those dids had sometime to do with the meter rather than the sense.
