Mountain View, California — Search engine giant Google recently unfolded two new feature, an automated search feature dubbed as: Translated Search aimed at passing over the language barrier across web search results, that allows the users to quickly find search results written in languages other than English. Also the Mountain View, Calif., company has quietly introduced Google Dictionary, which offers definitions and synonyms.
Translated search is pretty fantastic because it offers you to discover information from sites written in other languages. With the new “translated search” service where users can directly Google to seek results from Web pages written in an array of languages and then deliver results in a searcher’s native language.
While you can almost translate a whole websites to your preferred languages using Google Translate, translated search will allow you to do same right on Google SERPs.
For instance, if you search for [restaurant reviews antwerp] while on vacation in Belgium and want to find more reviews or review sites beyond those that are just available in English, you could simply click on “Show Options” at the top of the search results page and then select “Translated search”.
As soon as you enter your search term, Translated search will then select various languages to best translate your query into, and displays you with a list of search results written in those languages.
The feature has been accessible for quite sometime at the Google Translate service, but is now being incorporated fully into the Internet firm’s popular main search engine , making it effortless for you to find and read results from pages across the web, even if they were not written in a language you speak.
“Now, when you enter a query on Google for something in your own language, you can utilize this tool to search the web in another language,” Google technical lead Maureen Heymans and product manager Jeff Chin said in a blog post.
“We are merging it fully into Google search, simplifying it for you to find and read results from pages across the web, even if they were not written in a language you speak.”
The Translated search service will automatically translate search keywords into languages that seems relevant, such as French and Dutch, into English for you to read. Also, you can easily shuffle between languages by selecting any language from the link option at the upper portion of the search results page. You can display results for up to five languages at once and select from 51 languages to search.
Another interestingly intelligent cool features is Google’s Dictionary. Dictionary companies have believed that Google would saunter into their realm any day.
The app offers definitions and synonyms in almost thirty different languages, collected from a scope of different sources and impressively fast. In addition to Google’s own database of definitions, seeking information on a word on the Dictionary website presents a list of definitions pulled from a variety of academically authoritative sources.
You can mark words with a “star button” and return back to them later, you can also view the list of your recent searches and shuffle between translator resources or dictionaries for other languages.
The worlds most popular online dictionary is Answers.com and should the word get out, its seems it will be the company to feel the greatest blow of the launch. Up until now, clicking “definition” button at the top right of all Google searches for words would direct users to Answers.com site, no prizes for guessing where that takes you to now.
