Google and Microsoft now automatically translate Haitian Creole

Dear Khabrasoobshchestvo, today , as always, with lightning-fast Wikipedia (thanks to an anonymous author!), I discovered that Google Translate and Bing Translator started performing statistical machine translation from (and “to” too) Haitian Creole language ( what is Creole? ). Haitian is one of the official languages ​​of the Republic of Haiti , spoken by 14 million people; formed on the basis of the French sample of the 18th century, simplified and ponabral everything that is possible.



One of my favorite entertainment remains viewing Wikipedia in the freshly available to translate language. A few months ago, after the alpha version of the translation from Persian (Farsi) Google became available , it seemed that “Vladimir Putin” was translated from Persian into Russian as “boots” . Then the translation became better.



Now you have twice as many opportunities to find something interesting and laugh (only at the translation!) Twice as long, without forgetting to tell Google how to translate.

• Wikipedia in Haitian Creole, translated into Russian thanks to Bing Translator (may not be displayed correctly, see comment)
• Wikipedia in Haitian Creole language, translated into Russian thanks to Google Translate

By the way, surprisingly, in Haitian Wikipedia there are nominally as many as 50 thousand articles ( almost as many as in Greek and Wikipedia in Hindi ), with the fact that Haitian Wikipedia is not particularly visited from Haiti and probably does not edit it (and now it will not start soon). But nonetheless! Here are Tatars 6-8 million, which is only 2 times less, and there are only 5 thousand articles in the Tatar Wikipedia , which is 10 times less, and this is a sad fact. Are you sure that there were no earthquakes in Tatarstan? =))

PS:

Placed in the news feed, because post does not fit anywhere else.



Under the cut link to the official blog of Microsoft and other blogs, because the media still do not know about it.







There are no messages in the Russian-language media, there may be some in the English-speaking ones, but I found only blog posts and then only three posts:

• globalbydesign.com , which led me to a post on the Microsoft Translator Official Team Blog
• blog.gts-translation.com , which led me to a direct link to the English-Haitian translation
• and after the third I went to the news of Softpedia on January 25 about Bing Translator

Now, thanks to the translator, we can find out how “help me” will be in Haitian:





PPS:

As for the Russian language, I sometimes like the way Bing Translator translates, while Google Translate, in recent months, finally clogged up with garbage can translate completely clumsy.
