Jasia, who designed our UPGS 2008 crest, hosts a dynamic blog covering all things genealogy. Yesterday she posted about a new Google feature - translating Polish websites into English. She says: For genealogists who don't read the native language of their ancestors this really is the next best thing since sliced bread. You don't have to copy and paste text in a box or type in a hyperlink and choose which language to translate to and from. Just one click to translate a web page, it's that easy. Sigh. I think I'm in love. Read more:http://creativegene.blogspot.com/2008/05/genealogy-research-made-one-click.html
Hate to disappoint you but as a native Polish speaker, and after checking this Google new 'toy', I can summarize it with one word - GARBAGE. And I bet you that other native speakers will agree with me as well. I think, at this stage, the Google English - Polish/Polish-English translation is the WORST I've seen in any of the on-line automatic translations. And, what that women writes in the blog about it being so great and that all you need is a dictionary for just few words - is not true. The whole translation is a slew of incoherent babble that no native speaker can make sense of.
