Hawaiian language added to Google

Next time you do a search on the Web, you could be selecting "Huli ia Google,"
the Hawaiian words for "search Google."

The Hawaiian language version of Google's search engine is now available on
Apple's Safari browser through a project by a University of Hawaii-Hilo
assistant professor, who also translated the Netscape Web browser in 1997.

Keola Donaghy of the Ke Haka 'Ula O Ke'elikolani College of Hawaiian Language
estimates he spent 100 hours creating the translation. The Hawaiian version
provides instructions in Hawaiian on Google's search engine, but results are
still in English.
