They really only need to show one thing, the Google translate extension. I have it set to automatic now and I often don't even realize I'm looking at a page that's not originally in English. That's some serious Star Trek universal translator business going on right there.
- andyking 17y agoIt's not perfect. Whenever I go on a page in Scottish Gaelic, it says "this page is in Irish - would you like to translate it?" That could cause some trouble. The languages are admittedly similar and there's some level of mutual comprehension, but they're not similar enough for Google's translator to work across both - it emits gibberish when you click "yes".
- elblanco 17y agoI have to admit, I do not spend much time on Gaelic (Scottish or Irish) sites. I've noticed that it's support for East Asian languages is also pretty bad. But Romance languages, German and Arabic are pretty amazing.
- garply 17y agoI was really excited about this and so I went to Youku.com (Chinese YouTube) to try it out and, unfortunately, it looks really terrible.
