The Polish Ministry of Economy goes multi-lingual with Google Translate: "The Google Translate team is always thinking about how to make information accessible to all internet users, not matter what language it is written in. Often people come across webpages in foreign languages, but don’t know that they can go to
Google Translate to find out what the page says. This problem is especially challenging for government institutions that have wide audiences and information that needs to be translated into multiple languages. The
Polish Ministry of Economy recently solved this problem by using our
website translation element to make their
webpage multilingual for visitors who don’t speak Polish.
By embedding the
website translation element, the Ministry enabled visitors to translate site text instantly without leaving the Ministry’s webpage. With the addition of the Google Translate drop-down box, their webpages are now accessible to Chinese, English, French, German, Russian, and Spanish speakers who don’t have any knowledge of Polish at all!
While the translation quality is not perfect, it is good enough to allow visitors who don’t speak Polish to interact in a way they never could have before. Check out the Ministry’s site or add the
website translation element to your own webpage!
