Google has added 10 new languages to its Google Translate tool for a total of 23, and now has a detect language feature so users can discover the identity of the language being translated.
Google’s handy Google Translate service just became a bit niftier, adding 10 new languages to its capabilities for a grand total of 23. The new additions are Bulgarian, Croatian, Czech, Danish, Finnish, Hindi, Norwegian, Polish, Romanian and Swedish.
Translate can perform cross-language searches between any two of the languages it handles, as well as translating text and web pages.
The addition of a “Detect Language” feature means that users can now discover just what the original language of the translated document is – but as Google product manager Jeff Chin admitted in a blog post, that’s not always perfect.
"Machine translation is a hard problem, but it plays an important role in helping people access content they might otherwise be unable to read."
In an attempt to refine and learn, there will also be an option to suggest a better translation.
