Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Google on Tuesday expanded its free Internet translation service to include five languages spoken by more than a half million people in India and Bangladesh.
Bengali, Gujarati, Kannada, Tamil and Telugu were added to Google Translate, bringing to 63 the number of languages supported by the California-based firm's online service.
Translation of the newly added languages were in "alpha" form meaning that there was polishing to be done, Google research scientist Ashish Venugopal said in a blog post.
"If you notice incorrect or missing translations for any of our languages, please correct us; we enjoy learning from our mistakes and your feedback helps us graduate new languages from alpha status," Venugopal said.
"We hope that the launch of these new alpha languages will help you better understand the Indic web and encourage the publication of new content in Indic languages," he added.
Google also made software for fonts used in the languages available for download.
