Are they close enough that it would be possible to write a fully automated
translator between the two languages?  I imagine the Loglan corpus is much
smaller than the Lojban corpus, but it would be an interesting exercise.  Of
course, you couldn't give out the translations -- only the translation
software.

I had once thought of writing such a routine from Esperanto to one of my
Esperanto-inspired artlangs, until I remembered that the original copyright
holder would still own the copyright to any translations.
