Google Translations

1. What is Google Translate™ “automatic translation”?
It’s translation produced by state-of-the-art technology, without the intervention of human translators. Automatic translation is also often referred to as machine translation.

2. Why do Translink recommend Google Translate™ “automatic translation”?
We believe that Google Translate™ provides the most accurate translation available online.  We recommend using Google Translate™ to translate this website into the following languages:

Afrikaans Dutch Hindi Macedonian Slovak Yiddish
Albanian English Hungarian Malay Slovenian  
Arabic Estonian Icelandic Maltese Spanish  
Belarusian Filipino Indonesian Norwegian Swahili  
Bulgarian Finnish Irish Persian Swedish  
Catalan French Italian Polish Thai  
Chinese Galician Japanese Portuguese Turkish  
Croatian German Korean Romanian Ukrainian  
Czech Greek Latvian Russian Vietnamese  
Danish Hebrew Lithuanian Serbian Welsh  

3. When will Google support additional languages for translation?
Google is working to support other languages and will introduce them as soon as the automatic translation meets its standards.

4. The translation quality isn’t as good as I’d like it to be. Can it be made more accurate?
Google is always working to improve the quality of its translations. Even today’s most sophisticated software, though, doesn’t approach the fluency of a native speaker or possess the skill of a professional translator. In the interim, we hope the service provided by Google Translate™ is useful for most purposes.
