Google Translate Supports 5 New Languages

   VOA News
   Google Translate now supports Bengali, Gujarati, Kannada, Tamil and
   Telugu

   Internet search engine giant [1]Google has added five languages from
   the Indian subcontinent to its language translation service.
   Google announced Wednesday that Bengali, Gujarati, Kannada, Tamil and
   Telugu have been added to Google Translate, bringing to 63 the number
   of languages supported by the online service. The service already
   supported Hindi, India's national language.
   More than 500 million people in India and Bangladesh speak these five
   languages.
   A Google researcher said users can for a time expect translations for
   the new languages to be less fluent and include many untranslated
   words.
