What? you expect to be told "and Google plans to have some advantage from its free services"?<br /><br />It seems fairly obvious that the ability to translate directly impacts the ability to organize.<br /> <br />The whole angle about security is just silly.<br /><br />Making translate work for all languages is good for everybody. Frankly some languages are on their way out if this does not happen.<br /><br />If you intended to do a treatise of corporate mission statements then do one but this "I caught Google thing" seems to rather expose your deep but unfounded (in this case) mistrust for corporations and has little to do with stated objectives.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7105676869432380954.post-68410986157816135402010-03-30T09:14:05.995-07:002010-03-30T09:14:05.995-07:00Dark African

What I'm trying to say is that Google's stated reason for wanting to scan local language texts is for purposes of gathering and organizing the world's information.<br /><br />Nowhere do they actually say that in fact it is a very useful tool for growing their Google Translate service which in turn can be used to great advantage not just by military people but by corporations wishing to advertise across multi-lingual global markets.SCRIBE INTERNATIONALhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13625577844625925107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7105676869432380954.post-35254988909364415002010-03-30T07:59:33.715-07:002010-03-30T07:59:33.715-07:00Woyee!!

This is such a load.. and you can call it.<br /><br />..my language kikuyu or luganda is so important that if translated it would give security agencies "makmende scale" powers. Really?<br /><br />..success and profit is so foreign to Africa you must come by it via some dishonest means and so making money/profit = evil. Really?<br /><br />..every large corporation in Africa comes to do Good (not to grow wealth and businesses) and therefore should 'Google translate' benefit from language text archiving, she has deviated from doing good and has become evil. really?<br /><br />..again what a load ... and you can call it!<br /><br />DarkAfricanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
