Language aware results

english?
Zemanta results are incredible, but very hard to use for non-english
destinations.
Wikipedia links have to be converted to their localized versions -
when available.
Tags have to be translated back from english to the source language,
which is tricky
and probably with poor results.

At the moment we are not planning to release non-english version of the
engine/API.

Thank you, I can sympathize with you since my mother tongue is
Slovenian, a language not supported by most of the web services. However
the economy of maintaining another language does not work out right now.

Yes, it is not very easy. There are some other services out there that
might have better support for other languages.
We heard people are using Google Translate before sending texts to
Zemanta to get them from some other language to English. You can check
what Faviki is doing.
hope the current functionality will be good enough.

Hi,Hi, I am wondering if there is a different answer to this question now. Are there plans for results in languages other than English? Is that already supported? Which languages? thanks
we currently only support English language.
There are users that are using Zemanta alongside Google Translate API to make it partially work for other languages.
