07:08 pm - Google Translate's new keyboard feature

Previous Entry Share Next Entry

Ooo! Google Translate added a new keyboard feature. If you set the From: language to something other than English, a keyboard icon appears in the lower right corner of the textbox. If you click it, a popup box shows you the standard keyboard layout for that language, and temporarily switches your keyboard to it. Handy for foreign typists or non-Roman alphabets!

Ууу! Гугл Перевести добавил новую функцию клавиатуры. Если вы установите Из: язык-то, кроме английского, клавиатура появляется значок в правом нижнем углу текстового поля. Если вы щелкните по ней, всплывающее окно показывает вам стандартной раскладки клавиатуры для этого языка, и временно переключает клавиатуру к нему. Handy для иностранных машинистки или не алфавитов-римской!

Heh, at first I thought this was Hebrew, rather than Yiddish, and Google Translate rendered it as:

"How Wei Ziiar Phil! How Akenen Abastemte loran feather duster von tires!"

Sounds like a line of dialogue from a Monty Python skit!

BRITISH SOLDIERS:
Wie Wei Ziiar Phil! Wie Akenen Abastemte Loran Staubwedel von Reifen!

[GERMAN SOLDIERS are heard muttering from behind bushes. Suddenly they all pop out, laughing and dying.]
