New in Google Translate

Boris Khvostichenko, Google Product Manager

Last week, we made several significant changes to Google Translate :
  1. Translator now shows different translation options. Take for example the phrase about the size of Russia from an English-language Wikipedia article and try to translate it . The translator will tell us the following: “Russia is the largest country in the world, its total area is 17075400 square kilometers (6592800 square miles).” Now, if I click on a word it in the translated sentence, he will tell me other translations of the word, from which I can choose a better word it .

  2. We also added a tooltip that checks the spelling and corrects you if you make a mistake in writing a word or phrase.

  3. We also significantly improved the pronunciation of the Translator for 20 languages ​​- now you can easily listen to how a phrase sounds, for example, in Czech or Chinese - just click on the speaker icon. Although beatbox fans may continue to use German to German translation :)

  4. We have long supported phonetic Latin input. Now we have added an on-screen keyboard for 53 languages, including Russian. Select the appropriate input language and click on the keyboard icon if your computer does not have the layout you need.
We promise you that next year Google Translate will become even better and more convenient.
