If you happen to find an interesting online document that you want to read, but -- unfortunately -- such document is written in language that you don't understand, and (at the same time) when you need "someone" to help translate it immediately for you, you can not find one, then translate.google.com probably is the "perfect solution" to your problem.
This simple, easy to use, yet powerful site basically does one thing very well: it automatically translate URL pages and paragraph from one language to another!
I give it a try just now, the steps was simple:
- Paste the web address (URL) of the online document that you want to be translated.
- Select the language to translate it to.
- Press "Translate".
- Google will start translating the entire online document mentioned for you.
For step 1 I test it with my blog. This is how the original blog document reads (in English):
And this is how the translated document reads (in Bahasa Indonesia) -- after automatic translation by translate.google.com is done :
For a translation done by computer, the result is truly awesome. While indeed there are still a few mistakes here and there, overall the quality of the translated document is almost perfect.
Such application/"tool" could be extremely useful for people who need help with translation of a document (both online as well as offline). While before translate.google.com they can't read nor understand anything about it, now they can.
Having such capability constantly available and accessible anywhere, anytime is truly awesome!
