Coming soon: Google M for Maori

A husband and wife are developing a Maori language version of the search
engine Google in an effort to encourage more Maori to use the net.

 

Potaua Biasiny-Tule, 32, and Nikolasa Biasiny-Tule, 35, of Rotorua are
directing a team of volunteers from around the country translating the
search pages into a Google Maori language option.

 

And their idea has been welcomed by Google's American owners.
