Google Translate added 5 new languages:
Armenian (6.7 million speakers),
Azerbaijani (20-30 million speakers),
Basque (about 660,000 speakers),
Georgian (4 million speakers) and
Urdu (70 million speakers), but don't expect to read high-quality translations because the language models are still in alpha. "Translation to and from ALPHA languages may not work as well as other languages, as these systems are still in early stages of development," explains
Google Translate's FAQ.
In
a recent article from Spiegel, Google's Franz Och said that "the databases for 296 other languages are in development". Right now, Google Translate supports 57 languages, while Microsoft's
Bing Translator has support for 30 languages.
Wow. How did you select the individual language from the list? I tried Ctrl+select, and it select all :-). Let me know the trick.
ReplyDeleteOh my God, thank you Google!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteStill waiting for Luxembourgish to be added...
ReplyDeleteLatin, please! I'd be ever so grateful. :-)

ReplyDelete@Anonymous:
ReplyDeleteI used Firefox's multiple selection feature (press Ctrl while selecting text), but it's not always easy to select more than one word.
Əla!
ReplyDeleteOk, I never really tried the Google Translate option before, although I have seen it on a couple different occasions.
ReplyDeleteI always thought it was just an old fashion web translator (i.e. "Hello, how are you?" gets translated "Hello, are how you?" or w/e).
It being Google I should have known better.
All I have to say is that I am impressed with the accuracy of the translations that this feature in Google Chrome puts out. I wouldn't say it's perfect yet, but I'd say it's the best I've seen.
where is the Gujarati?
ReplyDeleteThank you very much from Azerbaijan! :)
ReplyDeleteYashasin Azerbaijan
