Google Translate for Persian
Google has always released services that are useful to better understand major events: new imagery that shows the impact of Hurricane Katrina, special search engines for last year's earthquake in China, search trends for 9/11.
Google Translate included an early version of a translation system for Persian, in response to the recent events from Iran. "We feel that launching Persian is particularly important now, given ongoing events in Iran. Like YouTube and other services, Google Translate is one more tool that Persian speakers can use to communicate directly to the world, and vice versa — increasing everyone's access to information," says Franz Och, from Google.
The translation tool can also be used to read articles from Iranian sites, but the quality is less than adequate. For example, here's the translation of the latest 50 Twitter messages tagged #Iran and written in Persian (Farsi).

Google's translations are very incorrect - O.K. for tourist but not for really understanding Farsi language - be very careful with that. - Blessings - Rene

Reply DeleteWhat is the error when the animation producer of Naruto, "Naoji Hohnokidani" became translated to "No sealing east"?
Reply DeleteIn other languages e.g. Russian, it translates such names 岸本征史 (Masashi Kishimoto) translated to Масаси Кисимото, 西尾哲也 (Tetsuya Nishio) as Нисио Тэцуя etc.
The biggest problem I have with Google is that when I save an email to read later I am unable to open it.
Reply DeleteIt is all scrambled or NA, or has been deleted by Google?
