Google announced today that it has added Lao to its Google Translate repertoire, making it the 65th language the service supports.
Lao, sometimes called Loation, is spoken in Laos, Thailand, the U.S., France, Canada, China, Australia, New Zealand, Argentina. In Laos, it is the official language. As of 2006, there were a reported 5.22 million native speakers.

THE TRANSLATION QUALITY IS AT THE LOWER END.

Google is calling upon users to help improve its translation of the language by providing alternate translations (by clicking on words or phrases of the translated sentence) or using the Google Translator Toolkit to upload translations.

THIS IS GOOD NEWS FOR THE OLD LAO LANGUAGE. YOU CAN HELP IMPROVE IT BY TYPING A SENTENCE OF YOUR CHOICE. CHECK THE TRANSLATION AND CORRECT IT.
TRY THIS: TYPE AN ENGLISH SENTENCE THEN SELECT LAO FOR THE LANGUAGE TO BE TRANSLATED. CHECK THE LAO SENTENCE AND CORRECT IT ON THE SPOT IF IT DOESN'T SOUND RIGHT.

The translation might be an individual privilege.

Sabaydii all,
Guys! guys! we got thus far because there are a few of us in the background pushing this cause forward. Please refer to https://sites.google.com/site/eng2lao/z2home. It has been a 2 years push, and work is still on going.
YOU TOO CAN MAKE the quality better, it is a question of everyone helping compiling a decent workable dictionary, such as EN-LO. Google translate to Lao will improve in time, because the system relies on statistical data from known context to best select a more accurate translation.
Thank you to all involved in making Google translate Lao thus far!

Casalao, at this stage of development I think Google Translation is still
very primitive in Lao language. A lot works have to be done if Google want to
have translation from English to Lao or vice versa to be clear and completed
meaning. I think Google fails to translate many technical words from English to Lao.
For example.
a). Macroeconomic effect = Google translated " ການກະທົບກະເທືອນ."
b). Democratic centralism = Google translated " ສູນ ປະຊາທິປະຕັຍ"
All of the meanings from two above phrase in Lao language are either mistranslated or make no sense at all. If you do not believe me,
try yourself with more technical words.
At this point, we can't realize and depend on translation from Google yet.
It takes time to develop the language program to the efficient level.

One of the reasons why I almsot never comment on software is that I know next to nothing about it.
But for whatever it is worth, I will make this general observation:
It SEEMS to me that these days --- and in particular, what GOOGLE has in its various software programming --- broad, multi-faceted ALGORITHMS (software built on *intelligent* algorithms) are at the heart of most of these programs... from how Google "translates" to how it keeps track of the SPREAD OF DISEASES (the cyclical wax and wane as well as the strength of, say, the swin flu, common cold, etc.)... to how it assimilates and makes use of other digital data dealing with atmospheric, surface, and astronomical sciences....
Point is, how "good Google is" depends largly on the RAW as well as ACCURACY data fed into its powerful algorithms.
Again, I don't know software and its programming details; but I know how Google runs OUT-COMES programs I use every day, from finances, to disease modeling, to pure information flow, to astronomical and atmospheric modelings.... so I know, to very large degrees, GOOGLE operates on very powerful search-and-encoding algorithms....
Somewhat similar to Stephen Wolfram (of MATHEMATICAL)'s own "computational" WOLFRAM-ALPHA search algorithm... in which you could type something, like:
"What is the average rotational speed of the Milky Way" and it will givey ou a whole bunch of very accurate, highly relevant astronomical information....
To use Stephen Wolfram's various very powerful and accurate scientific tools, one has to subscribe and pay some fees... so, of course, I don't know the extend of his software's true power; but the guy is a true genius on the hardest hardcore subjects, so they must be really good enough for industries, research scientists, government, and other entities to make him as rich as he is.... in the data analysis, as well as computational fields, he is in....
In short, Google's LAO TRANSLATION protocol only works as good, or accurately, as it is the data "fed" to Google; and it's not really something any body could actually do (other than to make sure users keep feeding sysmatically good, accurate data in to Google)...
