Bore Da - Google translate goes Welsh

1 September 2009 9:09 GMT / By Stuart Miles

Google has added Welsh to the list of languages that you can now translate giving you plenty of ways to prepare insults and decode signs when you head over the Seven bridge into Cardiff for the next game at the Millennium stadium.

According to the Mountain View based company Google Translate now boasts 51 languages.

New to the mixing pot this week are a further nine new languages including Afrikaans, Belarusian, Icelandic, Irish, Macedonian, Malay, Swahili, Welsh and Yiddish.

But before you go and try and convince that job interviewer that you are fluent in Welsh or even English, the company admits that "the translation quality of these newest languages is still a little rough, but it will improve over time."

Google says it hopes to integrate Google Translate into some of our other products although fails to mention what those products are in the blog post announcing the new offerings.

The full list now includes:
