Language translation in Gmail and GTalk

by Sujoy on March 28, 2008

GMail

Talk about integration. Google is bringing its translation tool into its Mail service and GTalk so says, Computerworld. There are already bots available to facilitate this service. However, there is a fair chance of the translation service being inaccurate similar to its translation tool, but while talking to a person with no common language of communication, this addition might actually help a lot in getting a fair idea of the conversation.

Google’s Matt Glotzbach said:-

What you need for real-time automated machine translation is large amounts of compute power, which we have, and large amounts of data, which we have. Imagine a system that can do on-the-fly translation of things like e-mail, documents and IM chat. That’s a feature you can see on the horizon,

There are still a lot to go for GTalk and GMail’s integrated chat as far as the features that other IM clients offer, We are yet to see a Webcam facility on GTalk, Chatrooms and of course call facility in Gmail and perhaps Skype-style phone calls in GTalk. Google is also working towards providing a cheaper solution to the present pricey options for videoconferencing. Are we looking at the dawn of a Big Goog Communication Expo soon?
