SAN FRANCISCO — Google starts weaving an automated language translation feature into its universal search service.
A new "translated search" tool lets people direct Google to search for results from Web pages written in an array of languages and then deliver the results in a searcher's preferred tongue.
The feature has been accessible at the Google Translate service, but is becoming part of the California-based Internet firm's popular main search engine.
"Now, when you search on Google for something in your own language, you may use this tool to search the web in another language," Google technical lead Maureen Heymans and product manager Jeff Chin said in a blog post.
"We are integrating it fully into Google search, making it easier for you to find and read results from pages across the web; even if they weren't written in a language you speak."
This tool can be found in a menu revealed by clicking on "Show Options" at the top of a Google search results page.
The Search Keywords are translated into languages that appear relevant, such as French and Dutch for a query about Belgium, also Web pages found are presented in the searcher's language.
"We will algorithmically select the best language(s) to translate your search query into and then return you translated results from those pages," Maureen Heymans and Jeff Chin said. "We will even display results from multiple languages."
Searchers can look for Web pages written in any of 51 languages and this tool will display results from as many as 5 languages at a time, according to Google.
