On translating 'tsunami' into all the languages using Google Translate, there was a distinct shift in the paradigm or linguistic base here in Seattle.
This brought to mind the idea that any single or small number of words that capture worldwide attention in the news for, say, more than a week, might be run through a device that translates that word automatically. Of course on any day almost any word will appear often, but "tsunami" is astonishingly frequent just now and of course carries powerful material and human implications. Maybe the Google translate page could automatically list all the translations for the highest (or a chosen highest) frequency word each day. And of course this could be a Google thingie. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "General" group. To post to this group, send email to [email protected].
