Google has come up with a translator toolkit that combines the company’s machine translation technology with online tools for manually editing content.Earlier Google had brought up a product called Google translate which allowed users to translate and read Web sites and plain text in a number of languages. But the new product is all different and innovative . it is meant for users who want to edit and polish the translated text, and share or publish it, said Prasad Ram, center head and engineering director at Google India R&D, on Tuesday.This new product is developed in Google’s Indian R&D Lab Development . it will be known to be the latest of a number of tools developed by Google in India to improve access to content in local languages, Ram said.products like this are designed keeping in mind the problems in india but are useful for people throughout the world.By an arrangement with Wikipedia, users can download a Wikipedia entry into the translator toolkit, translate it into a local language using machine translation, correct and polish the translation and post it to the online encyclopedia.
Professional translators can also upload personal files to the translator toolkit, and use the toolkit provided by Google, which includes a glossary, and dictionary, among other features, Galvez said. The local file and the translation can be kept private. he added.
The editing can be done using a document layout that general users are familiar with.
