To celebrate the International Translation Day, Google launched a new service for web publishers.
This new feature is called website translator gadget.
It uses the Google Translation back-end to provide instant translation of the web-page being visited by a user.
As a web publisher you can insert the gadget on your web-page. If a user visits that web-page with another language set in his web browser, that page is automatically displayed in that language!
The visitor get to see the ‘implementation’ on the web-page so he can switch back to the original language if he so desires.
Google said: “Automatic translation is convenient and helps people get a quick gist of the page. However, it’s not a perfect substitute for the art of professional translation. Today happens to be International Translation Day, and we’d like to take the opportunity to celebrate the contributions of translators all over the world.”
