Google learns 10 new languages 11:57AM, Friday 16th May 2008
Google has added 10 new languages to its translation software, meaning you need never miss another foreign language technology rumour again.

The new entries include Bulgarian, Croatian, Czech, Danish, Finnish, Hindi, Norwegian, Polish, Romanian and Swedish, bringing the grand total to 23.

The company's also introduced a handy cross-translation feature allowing you to translate from French to Chinese for example, or Bulgarian to Hindi should the need somehow arise.

Alongside this, the translator can also work out the language you're trying to translate from - though Google points out that it stands a greater chance of working it out with a larger sample of text.

Google admits that "while our system is quite good, we know it's not perfect" but claims that the ability to translate pages is one of the biggest steps "in making information universally accessible."
