The “Google” developers realized that theudinformation presented on a web page in Internet can be in various languages.udLanguage can be a barrier for people to be able to understand the information if theyuddid not mastering the language. Machine translation from “Google” is the solution.udCurrently, “Google Translate” can translate into more than 50 languages in the world.udBut, almost people did not know the quality of translation result when theyuduse it.
