Google Translate adds 20 new languages to video text translation


The Google Translate app is about to get a lot more powerful. In an update released today, Google is adding dozens of new languages to some of the Translate app's most powerful features, and smoothing out the app to make it friendlier to slow connections. In particular, the update makes Translate's visual translation features significantly more powerful, letting mobile users translate 37 languages via photo, 32 via voice, and 27 through real-time video.
Today's changes are updates to two features added to translate back in January: a real-time video translation feature called Word Lens and a conversation feature that translates bilingual speech in real-time. The Word Lens feature lets you point your phone's camera at a sign or any other text and have it translated into another language, with the translation appearing immediately on your screen. It's designed to work entirely offline, without making any queries to Google's servers — convenient for those backpacking trips around Europe or Asia.
Word Lens supported seven languages when it launched, but after today's update, Word Lens will be able to translate back and forth in 25 separate languages, including Czech, Turkish, and Ukranian. The app can also translate text into Hindi and Thai but cannot translate back, since the script makes it difficult for the program to resolve individual letters. The new languages aren't built directly into the app, but they're available as 2-megabyte modules, which can be downloaded by accessing the languages within the app.
The update will also make speech-to-speech translation easier to use on a slow connection, after Googlers noticed more and more users relying on the feature in areas with bad connections. By making more of the translation processes local, the new Translate can run more smoothly in the face of an intermittent connection. Every day, Translate processes 100 billion words across the globe, and 95 percent of those translations take place outside the US, so the recalibration toward slower connections could have real implications in countries with less developed cell infrastructure

The main motive of the Google cloud big data services is to spread the knowledge so that they can give more big data engineers to the world.

The First 10 People Who Sign up On Facebook

The First 10 People Who Sign up On Facebook 10. Zach Bercu sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net “The past eight years have been extraordinary,” Bercu said. A graduate of Emory’s medical school, Bercu spent a year in Israel, where he became fluent in Hebrew. He completed his residency in New York, part of the last intern class at St. Vincent’s, whose “hospital infrastructure crumbled around me,” he remembered of the facility, which closed in 2010. Now a resident at Mount Sinai in radiology, Bercu plans to complete a fellowship in interventional radiology, a form of “micro-surgery.” From his undergraduate years, “whether through Facebook or in person,” Bercu says he “took with me some of the greatest friendships one could have.” 9.

Whenever you need to switch accounts, just click the Add account button to sign in to your other account(s) and conveniently switch between them. Multiple sign-in does not merge account data, and it does not give one account access to another. Multiple sign-in is most convenient to use on devices that you don’t share with other people (where you won’t need to sign out to let others access their own accounts). Sign in to additional accounts Sign in to a supported Google product. Click your name or email address at the top of the page. Select Add account from the drop-down menu. On the page that opens, enter the email address and password for another account you wish to access, and click Sign in .
