At this rate, Microsoft isn't going to catch up anytime soon. Microsoft has a much smaller team working on Bing than Google has working on Google, and in this case, the numbers definitely show it. Bing then supported 15 languages (five more have been added), while Google supported 42 languages (nine have since been added). The last time we took a look at the three services in July 2009, Yahoo Babel Fish supported 13 languages (meaning no new languages have been added since). For this reason, Yahoo has likely let Babel Fish remain stagnant. Yahoo is hoping for the Microhoo deal to receive regulatory approval from the US and Europe, which will mean that Bing will be taking the reigns of all search from the two companies regardless. The fact that Babel Fish is behind Bing Translator is not that surprising, even if Yahoo has a higher market share than Bing. We should also note that while Microsoft and Google both allow any combination of two languages they support, Yahoo only allows translating between certain pairs of languages of the ones that it supports. Assuming that your languages are supported by more than just one service, we recommend that you compare the two each and decide which one works better for you. Regardless of the fact that Google has more languages, it's important to remember to also compare quality. Here's a chart that summarizes the current status of the three websites: ServiceĪfrikaans, Albanian, Arabic, Belarusian, Bulgarian, Catalan, Chinese, Croatian, Czech, Danish, Dutch, English, Estonian, Filipino, Finnish, French, Galician, German, Greek, Hebrew, Hindi, Hungarian, Icelandic, Indonesian, Irish, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Latvian, Lithuanian, Macedonian, Malay, Maltese, Norwegian, Persian, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Serbian, Slovak, Slovenian, Spanish, Swahili, Swedish, Thai, Turkish, Ukrainian, Vietnamese, Welsh, and YiddishĪrabic, Chinese Simplified, Chinese Traditional, Czech, Danish, Dutch, English, French, German, Greek, Hebrew, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Swedish, and ThaiĬhinese Simplified, Chinese Traditional, Dutch, English, French, German, Greek, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Russian, and Spanish
This information prompted us to a do a quick quantitative comparison between the comparable translator services from Google, Microsoft, and Yahoo. All in all, it's good news for anyone who knows the Thai language, though we should note that Google has supported it for some time.
#BING TRANSLATOR WINDOWS#
Staff authors are listed here.News trickled out this month that Bing Translator had gained Thai support, meaning that users can translate to and from the language in IE8's Accelerator, with the Microsoft Translator widget, with the Windows Live Messenger bot, with Microsoft Translator for Office, and with the Microsoft Translator API.
Opinions expressed in this article are those of the guest author and not necessarily MarTech. So since bing translate is not showing up in Twitter anymore I have been copying and pasting to Google translate. Meanwhile, users will have to translate the old-school way, by copy-pasting text from tweets into their favorite online interpreter, something that one user already is trying with more satisfying results: But given Twitter’s ambition to be the “global town square,” it seems likely that the pullback from translation is only temporary. Judging from tweets in the week since the feature was dumped, many Twitter users are missing it.Ī Twitter spokesperson declined to comment about the change the company also never commented publicly about the expansion of the feature in June. The feature provided a quick and rough interpretation of tweets in foreign languages and was especially handy during international crises and global events like the FIFA World Cup. English To Assamese Translation: This website will help you translate from English to Assamese where you can translate from English to. Less than two months after quietly expanding in-feed language translation, Twitter has removed the Bing Translator feature from its web and mobile apps. Bing Translator is a simple translation tool powered by Microsoft, which offers translation of more than 65 languages, including Arabic, Catalan, Chinese and Estonian.
