Google

Google is company that offers a popular search engine for browsing the internet, a web-based email service ("Gmail"), and other services.

"Google in Your Language" search engine

The Google search engine has been localised in a number of languages and some of those are organised in country portals. For information about this program see http://www.google.com/transconsole

African language Googles include:

Many of the above are not 100% complete, and there has been a question as to how accurate the translations and orthographies for some of them are. In addition there are others not listed above that are at less complete levels of translation.

A list of translation projects for African languages with the percentage completion is given in the table to the left (information drawn from "Google in Your Language" http://www.google.com/transconsole/giyl/check/status on 2007-11-21):

Re: new, slight question

I think that Google put the translation service on hold, until further
notice. I am desperately waiting to continue translating in my

one (Cyrillic). Therefore, there should be TWO options for Serbian
language: Serbian Latin and Serbian Cyrillic.
I am not sure how Google handles "special" languages like Serbian that

Mandarin Chinese tool with PINYIN?

I would love Google's mouse-over translation tool to display pinyin!
Does it exist? Being created? - Any responces are super appreciated. -
I'm learning Chinese on my own, and learning to speak first, write/
read second. Pinyin translation would make so much sense for making
non-alphabetic languages accessible to foreign speakers/students.

hello fellow members

Hi and welcome to my translator
