The fastest-growing language on the internet, Arabic, is now supported by an automatic translation service that specifically benefits social media.
Qordoba is planning to launch of its new service that will help social media users tweet or post in languages other than their native tongue. It is predicted that in 2015, Arabic will be the 4th most common language on the Internet trailing behind English, Chinese and Spanish. The service will be able to utilize the proper dialectic differences and subtle distinctions that would not be accessible through the straightforward automatic translation services currently offered on the Web.
The estimated 22 million Arabic-speaking persons currently on the Internet is only projected to grow and if this new service runs as smoothly as advertised, it could be a great success.
Any help in current translation/interpretation technology is certainly welcome but I have to doubt if it will be able to communicate your message as well as a live, licensed translator/interpreter would (Shameless World Services plug www.worldservicesusa.com).
