Google updates translate plugin and Android app, unites nations

[![Google translate plugin update lets website owners improve their lingo][1] ][2]

If your website lacks a little... _je ne sais quois_, it either needs something special, or that _thing_ was lost in translation. If your managing different languages with Google's [Website Translator ][3]plugin, however, then a new feature could put a stop to odd or inaccurate interpretations of your text. It's only in beta at the moment, but if you add a customization meta tag to a webpage, readers who know better can click on badly translated text and amend it (pending your approval). Likewise, you can fix up any broken translations yourself, and folk will see that version when using Chrome, or Google Toolbar to switch languages. Likewise, it looks like the official translate app for Android got a little spit and polish too, plus Esperanto support and new text to speech languages, so at least you can look a little more stylish while you order unknown items from the menu. Travel on over to the source links for the Rosetta stone.
