Google Universe: Google Translate

In Google Universe there is one product called Google Translate, which can translate the webpages between 52 languages. It is a very interesting and useful product. If a customer who reads little English want to visit Calgary Public Library's website, it will be very helpful the customer uses Google Translate to translate the webpage to one's native language, and the webpage can be switched between "Translation" and "Original".

Also there are some problems of translation. Since the translation is processed by the computer not by person translator, quite many grammar mistakes exist. Words chosen to match the original texts are sometime very awckward as well.

But still, Google Translate is such an interesting product, it should add credits to Google Universe.
