Google Translate

[Jon von der Heyden]

Hi All

I've recently discovered Google Translate. I've experimenting - translating various foreign texts from various sites / forums. I'm really impressed with the translations supplied - I tend to find that I can understand the questions. I've only been able to test German / Dutch to English and back again...

Just wondering who else has experimented with it? I wonder if this tool makes the "Questions in Other Languages" accessible to the wider community?

Regards
Jon

Vielleicht sollten wir diskutieren diese außerhalb unserer Muttersprache übersetzen und nur mit Google-Übersetzung.

Das wird sicherlich Test seiner Fähigkeiten.


English -> German

Perhaps we should discuss this outside our native languages and translate only with Google Translation.

That will surely test its capabilities.

kgkev, how do you get these alphabets with 2 dots on top of it ? I guess, they aint available through our normal english keyboard ? A special German keyboard, I reckon ?

Edit: I see that you know written German quite well ! Impressive

También puedo escribir español bastante fluido.
I can also write fairly fluent spanish


Monsieur le français n'est pas aussi bonne que mon allemand, mais il est meilleur que mon espagnol
Mr French isn't as good as my German but it is better than my spanish

Jeśli chodzi o moje polski mam dopiero zaczęła się uczyć, ale myślę, że jest to dość dobrze na nadchodzący
As for my polish I have only just started to learn it but I think it is coming on fairly wel

Я хотел бы узнать русский язык в будущем - Ну немного больше, чем я знаю на данный момент каких-либо способом. Я не думаю, я мог бы иметь разговор в России очень легко - А у вас учиться всему новому алфавиту, который является еще одним препятствием
I would like to learn Russian in the future - Well a bit more than I know at the moment any way. I don't think I could have a conversation in Russia very easily - And you have to learn a whole new alphabet which is another hurdle

Here is a decent list of the keys. Also you can use the character map that usually is in the start menu accessories or press widnow key + r and then type in charmap. You can use many different fonts and there are tons of unique characters that you can copy and paste. Some also list their short cut keys.

Ah si nous savons maintenant que Google Translate est alors mieux à ma frappe. On aurait pu deviner que, sans la visite du site ...
