Hey Josh, It's working smoothly again, thanks. Yes I have my keyboard set to one of the Arabic arrangements. Also, the alignment didn't always switch as I set the language. It does now.
Side note - there's a lot of language, I'm sure, that you all are working on; you should add the various Arabic dialects to that bunch. The slight adjustments in verb conjugation and syntax probably wouldn't be too hard to reproduce by tweaking some of the algorithms for MSA, and the additional vocabulary would be even easier. Thanks, google translate is becoming more legitimate every day, it seems, Byron On Feb 14, 3:16 pm, Josh (Google Employee) wrote: > Hi Byron, > > I've been able to reproduce it. > We're working on a fix. > > Sorry for the inconvenience. > > Best, > Josh Estelle > Senior Software Engineer > Google Translate > > On Feb 14, 10:09 am, Josh (Google Employee) wrote: > > > Hi Byron, > > > Hmmm, I'm not sure.
