 *Google Translate Adds Kazakh, Tajik, Uzbek Languages *

   -

December 12, 2014

Three Central Asian languages have been included in Google's online
translation system.

The U.S.-based Internet giant's office in Kazakhstan announced on December
12 that instantaneous translation from Kazakh, Tajik, and Uzbek into other
languages -- and vice-versa -- is now available on computers and mobile
devices.

According to a statement, users of Google Translate can help improve the
quality of translations by adding their corrections and linguistic
expertise online.

Google Translate now covers more than 90 languages.
