Google Translate Adds Nine New Languages
Thursday, September 3, 2009
Google Translate service now includes nine new languages, was announced on Monday by the company. The nine new languages are Macedonian, Malay, Swahili, Welsh, Afrikaans, Belarusian, Icelandic, Irish and Yiddish. This takes the total number of languages in the translation service to 51. Like other Google Translate updates, these changes will also take place in other Google services where machine translation is used. It will include Google Friend Connect, Google Talk, Gmail, and most recently Google Docs. The changes have not yet been made in any of these services. Google had released the alpha version of Persian translating for the Iranian presidential elections in last June. The company has noticed that the Persian translations along with the new additions will not be as accurate as the most widely used languages. The Company feels that the new languages will take some time to come up to same level in terms of quality like the German, Spanish and French translations which were first to be introduced in the translation service.
