Headworx In Your Language

I have been playing with Google Language Tools recently. Yeah, I know they have been sitting there for a while but as they are burried deep down the Google Labs area, they never attracted my attention. Google Translator is probably the most interesting technology. Yes, I know there are many web page translation services on the Internet, but the Google one seems to be well ahead of the crowd (surprise, surprise!). English is not my native language and I know just a little German and Spanish, so it is rather hard for me to judge the output. But when I tried to translate several German or French or Spanish pages to English the output was surprisingly good. When reading such translation, you can still feel it is rather machine than human behind, but the overall quality seems to be far better than, say, the Babelfish.

Anyway, I decided to bring my blog to eight new languages. Now it is up to the readers to judge the quality. I would be very interested in your feedback. Rolling on my Google conspiracy theory, I can just say Google learns new languages to learn more about our world. I am sure it is not just a simple translation service. There has to be serious Artificial Intelligence behind. And the more it understands (yes, understands, not just indexes and searches), the smarter it becomes.


So give it a try. Today's menu is:

• Arabic
  
• Chinese
  
• French
  
• German
  
• Italian
  
• Japanese
  
• Korean
  
• Portuguese
  

Have fun!
