Last week, we launched a variety of features on Google Translator Toolkit, Google’s easy-to-use translation aid.

100,000 language pairs.
Now you can translate from 345 source languages into 345 target languages in Translator Toolkit. For example, you can translate from Welsh into Spanish or Māori into Chinese.


Open translation as a Google document. When you’ve completed your translation, you can publish your translation into Google Docs. From Docs, you can invite other users to edit or view the translation, or you can publish your translation as a web page.

Spell check.
Translator Toolkit now supports spell check, so you can verify the spelling of your translations.


Colored segments. To help you translate even faster, you can now customize your translation view so that, for example, machine-translated text is red, ‘high-fuzzy’ match (or near-perfect) translations are orange, and human translations are black. By customizing your view, you can quickly spot the text that needs the most work.


Translation statistics.
When you create a new translation, we now calculate translation scope, which shows the number of untranslated words, machine translated words, ‘high-fuzzy’ match words, and perfect translation memory words in your translation. Translation statistics can help you figure out how much work you’ll need to do to create the perfect translation even before you get started.



Split and merge segments.
Sometimes one sentence in one language translates to two sentences in another language. For example, the English sentence,
  • Jen is a huge Dalí fan and she wanted to hit both Figueras and Cadaqués, two must-sees on her itinerary.
translates into two sentences in Chinese:
  • 简是一个超级的达利爱好者。
  • 她想去Figueras和Cadaqués,两个她行程中的必经之地。
By splitting the segment, advanced users can improve leverage in their translation memories. Similarly, we also allow users to merge segments, so advanced users can rearrange sentences to create the perfect translation.
