Google translate? its successor is already here!

Google translator toolkit

E'di few days ago news of the launch, from Google, the evolution of the Google Translate translation service: Google translator toolkit.

In fact, IL “old” translation service is quite efficient, I also use it on this blog, in the left sidebar, just that sometimes there are mistakes very Marchiani, and you can not remedy.

For this reason, with the introduction of a toolkit, a real powerful tool for editing of translations, we can add, as the authors say, a touch of “humanity” translations.

After opening the page, simply enter your name and surname, to register for this new service.

As shown in this image, IL “translation cycle” means that human intervention can correct any blunder due to machine translation (think that automated translation from one language to another, and a program that writes what is dictated, without making mistakes, are two of the most fascinating challenges for programmers).

Here's an example that I tried to load in the toolkit, to verify operation:

As you can see by clicking and magnifying the image, After selecting the language in which translate, I can click a paragraph and go to intervene directly on a particular error.

Spreader is upload an html page and work on that, or select a web address, or even a Wikipedia article.

So, will be easy, especially in the case of Wikipedia, produce in a few minutes the material understandable to users who do not understand English.

One of the last barriers of the Internet is about to collapse? I do not think will have a lot to websites and translated DYNAMICALLY WITHOUT errors, without having to resort to paid tools 🙂
