Machine Translation: Google's Franz Josef Och discusses the launch of eleven more languages at translate.google.com

Eleven more languages are available* for translation by Google: Catalan, Filipino, Hebrew, Indonesian, Latvian, Lithuanian, Serbian, Slovak, Slovenian, Ukrainian, and Vietnamese. This increases the number of languages from 23 to 34, and more than doubles the number of language pairs available to well over one thousand. Franz Josef Och from Google explains.
