Acum o luna, Google a-mbogatit serviciul de traducere prin adaugarea a inca 11 limbi, pentru un total de 35 de limbi. Un prilej cum nu se poate mai nimerit de a republica widgetul de traducere cu steaguri.
Noile limbi anuntate in septembrie sunt: Catalan, Filipino, Hebrew, Indonesian, Latvian, Lithuanian, Serbian, Slovak, Slovenian, Ukrainian and Vietnamese. Acum mai putin de un an, situatia traducerilor gratis era trista. Majoritatea sistemelor fusesera licentiate de la Systran si erau bazate pe reguli fixe. Google a revolutionat traducerile introducand la scara larga (cum numai ei puteau) traducerile pe baze statistice. Desi la-nceput acestea vor fi eronate, cu timpul, si pe masura ce sunt corectate, ele se vor imbunatati.
Most state-of-the-art, commercial machine-translation systems in use today have been developed using a rule-based approach, and require a lot of work to define vocabularies and grammars. Our system takes a different approach: we feed the computer billions of words of text, both monolingual text in the target language, and aligned text consisting of examples of human translations between the languages. We then apply statistical learning techniques to build a translation model. (1)
Imediat ce Google a introdus traducerile statistice Microsoft au renuntat si ei la Systran si-au copiat modelul Google care oricum, nu era o idee noua (2). Windows Live Translator explica foarte bine limitatiile traducerilor automate (3):
automatic translation enables you to understand the gist of foreign language text, but is no substitute for a professional human translator if fluency is required
Cu alte cuvinte, traducerea automata iti permite sa intelegi despre ce-i vorba in fragmentul respectiv, dar nu-i un substitut pentru un traducator uman profesional.
Daca vrei vreodata ca parte din textul tau sa ramana netradus de Google, baga-l in class="notranslate", de pilda
<span class='notranslate'>Asta-i un citat Becali care-i bine sa ramana la noi acasa: "Baga-mi-as...".</span>.

</form>Iata si codul G (nu-i al meu!):
<!--script src="http://www.gmodules.com/ig/ifr?url=http://www.google.com/ig/modules/translatemypage.xml&up_source_language=ro&w=160&h=60&title=&border=&output=js"></script-->
Pentru a folosi acest cod in Blogger, te duci in Dashboard -> Layout -> Add Gadget -> HTML / JavaScript, apoi copy & paste codul de mai sus. Poti da ce titlu vrei si o poti muta oriunde. In Wordpress, din wp-admin (Dashboard) mergi in Design -> Theme Editor -> Templates -> r_sidebar.php (sau l_sidebar.php, dupa cum il vrei pe stanga sau pe dreapta). Gaseste un loc bun sa-i faci copy & paste, apasa Update File, si vezi ce-a iesit. Ajusteaza apoi daca e nevoie, daca nu, gaseste-l si scoate-l. Varianta noua poate fi vazuta in coltul din dreapta sus, cea originala pe Cracanel Excelsior Mutandis (WP).
Ca si varianta originala, codul este licentiat Creative Commons Attribution - asta-nseamna ca faci ce vrei cu el, poti chiar sa stergi anumite limbi care nu-ti plac, poti sa le schimbi ordinea, cata vreme lasi intacte creditele ascunse in cod. Un link vizibil catre acest blog este desigur apreciat, dar nu necesar.
M-am gandit sa reproduc si widgetul lui Hoctro. Spre deosebire de widgetul meu, cel al lui Hoctro poate fi mai greu introdus. De asemenea, este foarte asemanator in functionalitate cu widgetul Google, care este self-updating si care poate fi gasit in primul anunt al acestui script, in Modificari in josul paginii. Din pacate, atat widgetul Hoctro cat si cel Google forteaza link-uri catre paginile sursa. Widgetul meu ascunde creditele in codul sursa, care nu este vizibil in pagina (un link catre acest blog / pagina este sugerat dar nu fortat). Iata mai jos widgetul Hoctro, cu modificarile facute pentru pagini romanesti:
