Google Wave – A Revolution in the Translation of Languages

Google is about to unleash a startling advance in online communication that will revolutionize email. Just one of the amazing features of this new service, expected to be released later in 2009, is translation. Is it translation English to French and French to English? Yes, in a tiny part. Actually it is translation from any one of 40 languages to any one of those same 40 languages. That’s an achievement in itself. But, that’s not what I’m so amazed at.

This translation feature does not just look at the words, it senses the context of the meaning of the sentence in order to propose its translation. OK, maybe you are not totally blown away yet. I know why. Because I have not unveiled the real big feature of this translation service. The big feature is that the translation is in real time, as you type each keystroke. I saw a sneak preview of this translation service and it was a thing of beauty to behold.

For the English to French translation, the typist was beginning the message with “H – e – l” and the service had already posted the translation of “Bonjour” because it sensed that the most likely word beginning with the three letters h, e and l was probably “hello” especially as the first word of the message. So Google had completed the translation before the typist had completed her first word.

If that were incorrect, for example, because the first English word were actually “Helium”, then the translator simply pops out the word “Bonjour” and pops in the correct word, as it learns from each new keystroke. It was a joy to watch the words, in the translated language, pop in and out and eventually settle down to the correct meaning. English and French are from the same source. But, I saw the same wizardry for translation from Hebrew to English and from Chinese to English. It truly is a huge advance in communication.
