Why do we have Google Translate on our website?
We want to be as inclusive, welcoming and as accessible as possible. Although Google Translate is far from perfect, the more it is used the better it will get and the easier it will be to communicate across languages.
What is Google Translate?
Translations on the LABC Website are performed by Google Translate. Google Translate is a free translation service that provides instant translations between different languages.
How Google Translate Works
When Google Translate generates a translation, it looks for patterns in hundreds of millions of documents to help decide on the best translation for you. By detecting patterns in documents that have already been translated by human translators, Google Translate can make intelligent guesses as to what an appropriate translation should be. This process of seeking patterns in large amounts of text is called “statistical machine translation”. Since the translations are generated by machines, not all translation will be perfect. The more human-translated documents that Google Translate can analyze in a specific language, the better the translation quality will be. This is why translation accuracy will vary across languages.
