Google Translate - A free language translation service
2008 at 05:14 pm
If you are one of those people who always wanted a free online language translation service, this is the time for you to cheer up. Google provides a free language translation service.
English is considered as the primary language of Internet so far. But nowadays if you want to take your business or products globally then you might need to consider a translation service. Although human translation is by far the best way to translate but the cost of human translation for a big website or corporate blog can be a bit expensive. I suggest doing computer translation at first place and then taking help of human translator just to double check the grammar etc. If you are thinking about computer translation it's worthwhile having a look at Babel Fish and Systran.
Google has developed their own tranlation system which is based on statistical translation. It means Google Translate would not just translate words, but it will also take care of grammar up to some extent. If you feel that the translation is wrong you can always suggest a better translation that Google will add to their system.
Google Translate Dictionary
Using Google Translate not only you can translate text and webpages but also you can use a Dictionary for words translation. This dictionary provides some extra facilities such as Related phrases and web definition.
What languages Google can translate?
As Google translate is still a beta service so it does not support translation for all languages of the world - which would be a brilliant innovation if they achieve this one day. But still Google translate supports the mostly spoken languages. Here is a list of languages that you can translate using Google Translate
- Arabic
- Bulgarian
- Chinese (Simplified)
- Chinese (Traditional)
- Croatian
- Czech
- Danish
- Dutch
- Finnish
- French
- German
- Greek
- Hindi
- Italian
- Korean
- Japanese
- Norwegian
- Polish
- Romanian
- Russian
- Spanish
- Swedish
- Portuguese
The best part of Google Translate is that it not only translate plane text but it also supports web translation. For example I tried to translate an HTML heading one from English to Spanish. The result was I got Spanish translation and the HTML tags remain intact.
At the end what if you are facing some problems with Google Translate. Well, like many other Google Services this service also has a very helpful Translate group where you can ask for any sort of help if required.
