credit for thinking big. Some recent developments
seem to indicate that they believe it's time for
Google Translate, which has been slowly getting
better, to truly make an impact on the global
language barriers to communication. Translate can
currently handle 80 languages, and if it's not yet
accurate enough for the <a
href="http://www.canopyapps.com/blog/is-google-translate-safe-for-medicine/">medical
community</a>, it seems to be good enough for <a
href="http://rvarc.org/website-now-includes-google-translate-widget/">government
websites</a> trying to engage the 10% of
Americans with limited English proficiency. So
what is the best way to accelerate improvement of
Google Translate? Google's answer: They have
empowered Translate users to do the job.

Translate for Bengali translation</a>
(Smartling blog | Rehana Parvin) "Every time
Google Translate isn't able to translate a word
into Bengali, you can add the word in manually,
save the change, and use it the next time.
Taking the same example from above, the word,
'বইয়ের' is incorrect. The correct word would be
'বইটি'. If you click on the word 'বইয়ের,'
you'll be able to click and choose the correct
replacement."</li>
