Kurdish is an ancient language that is spoken currently by 50 million people throughout the Middle East, in Syria, Iraq, Iran and Turkey. There are many of us interacting with Kurdish people on Facebook and twitter, to support their intended goal of statehood. This includes recognition of their language which is intrinsic to the Kurdish culture.
I would like to know if Google, at present, is in the process of creating a translating algorithm for Kurdish and if not, could you please go ahead. Currently, Kurds have to write their words in Arabic or Persian script, or Turkish in order to write, but they have their own script as well as a way of writing that, like Turkish, utilises Roman script with the odd cedilla etc. It would be fantastic if people like me could translate English into either Kurdish script or their version of Roman script. It will enable many people who wish to interact with kurds, in business - such as the oil business in Iraqi Kurdistan in the north of Iraq, where important international deals are being made, to the ordinary Kurdish person who wants access to English and the huge English-speaking social and business community throughout the world. Not to forget, the huge diaspora of Kurds, in the UK, US, throughout Europe and elsewhere. I look forward to hearing from you asap, hopefully from someone who is in the GOOGLE TRANSLATE department.
