Google Translator
Saturday, September 22nd, 2007
I’ve been using the Google Translator this morning, and I am extremely impressed. It let’s you plug in statements in English, and it spits back the translation in almost any language you would want. But even more useful is the ability to translate entire websites. For example, today I’m looking for sport leagues/clubs to join in Brussels and I’m using quefaire.be (translated “What to do” — the “.be” is like “.com” for Belgian sites). The whole site is in French, and I could have wasted hours trying to figure out what a lot of it was saying. Instead, through the beauty of modern Google technology, I just plug the URL into the google translator, and voila — quefair.be in English.
