As I already
wrote , our beloved Google finally included the Russian language (as always BETA :) in the list of its service
Google Translate .
First impressions.
The engine of its own, which can be determined by comparing with previously available services, and rather high-quality, which is typical of most Google products. The speed of work is beyond praise, especially when compared to a generally good, but terribly slow and inaccessible
Promt .
Not to be unsubstantiated, I will give three options for translating part of a web page:
- from Google:
“At the end of the 19th century, L. L. Zamenhof proposed Esperanto; It was intended as a global communication language and to be understood by everyone. The inventor hopes that a common language can solve global problems that lead to conflict. Esperanto was planned as a language, had some success, but today English is much more universal. 30 countries have adopted it as an official language, and in many other countries it is taught in school and understood quite well. On the Internet, it can be suspected to further enhance the adoption of English. „

-from
babelfish (country engine):
“At the end of the 9th century, Esperanto LL Zamenuof proposed; was intended as a global language to be spoken and understood by everyone. The inventor hoped that a common language could solve the global problems that lead to conflict. Esperanto as a planned language could have had some success, but today, English is much more universal. 30 countries have it as an official language, and in many other countries it is taught in school and understood fairly well. The Internet can be suspected of further increasing acceptance of the English language. ”
from the
Translate.ru service (Promtovsky engine):
“At the end of the 19th century, LL Zamenhof suggested Esperanto; it was intended as a global language that is spoken and understood by everyone. The inventor hoped that a common (common) language could solve global problems that lead to conflict. Esperanto as a planned language may have had some success, but today, English is much more versatile. 30 countries have this as an official language, and in many other countries it is taught in school and is understood fairly well. The Internet may be suspected to further increase the acceptance of English. ”
The results speak for themselves.
In addition, Google offers a
button-link that allows one click to translate the selected text or the entire page.
I think this great gift will be appreciated by many Russian-speaking users who do not speak English well enough. Moreover, an interesting form of submitting a translated page, preserving the source text, available as pop-up sentences, will allow you to view both options and learn such a necessary language faster!
