While this may not satisfy you, I have noticed that translating
Serbian into Croatian in many cases just transliterates. So, it may be
acceptable for you to translate into Serbian, and then into Croatian,
and possibly fine-tune the output translation.

Of course, this would look silly if used completely automatically

License for text to speech?

2009-11-22T00:01:08Z

Hi,

What is the license for files produced by Google Translate's text to
speech? I am astonished by the amazing quality of the produced audio.

Big bug

I'm no native speaker of Finnish, but I'm pretty sure this translation
isn't accurate.

My input: I do not speak your language

Mode: English ---> Finnish

Output: I don't speak your language

First encountered on firefox 3.5.5 for mac, tried again with same
result on Chrome for mac version 4.0.249.4

I forgot to mention: the only "improvement" I wish Google had made was
to add an option to add world characters, like letters with umlauts.
I've seen other online translators that have a drop-down box where you
can add these characters, and while it's not the most efficient when
typing, it's still a lot better for translations to type "für" instead

Re: The new Version is not iiendly

I agree. This new version is terrible. I am a native English speaker
learning German, and sometimes when I am reading in German, I don't
understand a sentence even if I know what all/most of the words mean
so I've always just put it into Google to get the jist of what the
sentence means. But now it is so difficult to type in the sentences

New Coke (oops, I mean "New Google Translate"

I'm absolutely amazed....

Your "New Improved" Google Translate product makes New Coke look
like
an intelligent decision....

Years from now, MBA students will be examining case studies regarding
how Google - one of the most successful corporations in history -
took
a top tier product and destroyed it - thereby losing their customer

Re: disappearing text

Sorry, no, it doesn't work (Nov 21,2009, about 22.00 Swedish time):
Russian text to any of 5 languages tested, translated text doesn't
show. Other language to Russian works OK.
And by the way, quality of translation (Estonian to/from any of 6
languages) has dropped to somewhere around first test version

I'm amazed - you've actually made Coca-Cola's "New Coke" fiasco look
like an intelligent decision. Years from now, MBA students will be
studying the "Google Translate Improvement" fiasco. You have but days
to correct your place in history...can you do it? Your once loyal
customers are waiting to see if you can - or will...
