There are some things Google can't translate (yet)
Tuesday, November 16, 2010
Google Translate may be able to translate over 50 languages, everything from Afrikaans to Yiddish, but there are some things we still can’t translate. A baby babbling, for example:
For the week of November 15th we are releasing five videos of things Google can’t translate (at least not yet)! Check out the videos and share them with your friends. If you can think of other things you wish Google translated (like your calculus homework or your pet hamster), tweet them with the tag #GoogleTranslate. We’ll be making a video of at least one of the suggestions and adding it to our page.
So join us as we laugh about the things Google can’t translate (yet), and celebrate the over 50 languages it can!
