A lazy post – Google Translate Rocks
This post will be a grouping of useful translation links. During the last few weeks, I’ve been busy with contacts in various countries and find myself Googling “translate x into y” quite a bit. I stumbled on the table below at this link (included just incase they add further languages). The title is Translation “Bots”. You may have heard of the evil bots that control computers and send spam – Google isn’t into that. These bots are for chatting. For example, if you click on the en2ar link below, a chat window will appear and will translate what you type in English into Arabic. Sweet.
So what is a bot? It’s just software that imitates a human in some capacity (over simplification but true). A chat bot imitates someone chatting. An evil email bot, imitates someone sending evil emails. Anyway, as mentioned, the table at the bottom of this post has all the bots I could find.
For additional translation entertainment, you can hit up the standard Google Translate, which is also pretty amazing. One thing that I often do is paste a web link into the translate box and then click on the link that appears to the left. This will take you to a translated version of the site you requested! Insane!
That’s it for now – as I said, busy as heck. Enjoy translating!
