Google Expands Translation Toolbox

Google has introduced a new feature in its search that can automatically translate Internet search requests and results in 12 languages . This new feature will give the users a chance to search in there native language and have the search results translated to other languages . Then just by clicking on a link , they can translate the whole webpage .

Besides English, this will work in Arabic, French, Italian, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Russian, Japanese, Korean, traditional Chinese and simplified Chinese . Maybe this feature has something to do with the Yahoo’s search that has been translating results in Germany , France and Japan since 2005 . And by doing this they are also trying to sell more advertising in International market .
