I've been using http://translate.google.com for a few weeks now and want to offer a suggestion for improving it.
Whenever I translate from one language to another, I reverse translate to ensure the interpretation of Google Translate was correct. This also helps me improve the original expression and choose the right words. (Has the nice side effect of forcing me to make my original expression better too). It would be extremely useful if Google Translate did this automatically. Instead of two panes with source and dest, a third column could reverse translate the 2nd column. That'd make life A LOT quicker when performing translations and checking them. Also, the current UI assumes the user knows the destination language. PAY ATTENTION. Why would I be using Google translate if I knew the destination language?!? So Google gives me drop down of alternate words in a foreign language and I have NO IDEA if they are the right word or not. The third column would solve this problem. I could then experiment with the foreign words and see if the words I chose are correct with the reverse translation. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "General" group.
