Ever noticed a little “translate” button like this on a web site?
Soon you’ll see more and more sites offering multiple language translations.
Think of the implications of this in a web site offering Bible verses or Bible Studies, for example. Or an online discussion board about God which draws visitors from many countries.
Watch this video to learn the amazing way God is “lining things up” with many, many organizations cooperating with Google to help make machine translation sufficient for basic web reading, if not beyond sufficient to “excelente!”
Machine Translation = Language translation done on the fly by a computer. Up until very recently, the quality of machine translation was considered very poor.

But, things are changing rapidly. Watch the video. Pretty cool indeed.
Here is the direct link to the video.
