A “translator gadget” powered by Google Translate offers to transform pages for visitors if the language settings in their browsers are different from the language of a particular website, according to Google product manager Jeff Chin.<\/p>\n

“Automatic translation is convenient and helps people get a quick gist of the page,” Chin said in a blog post.<\/p>\n

“However, it’s not a perfect substitute for the art of professional translation.”<\/p>\n

In August the Internet giant added automatic translation to Google Docs allowing users to translate documents into 42 languages.<\/p>\n

The “Tools” menu on Google Docs now includes a “Translate Document” feature which provides a list of the various languages offered, which run from Albanian to Icelandic to Vietnamese.<\/p>\n

The Mountain View, California-based company has already built automatic translation features into its popular email program Gmail and into services such as its blog reader.<\/p>\n
