Google - Language Immersion

Helping Google deploy tools that enable people to learn a language while living their daily digital lives

Introduction

Immersion in a foreign language is one of the fastest paths to fluency. Of course, most of us can’t just zip off to Paris for a year to learn French. What we do have, though, is automatic translation technology.

Google collaborated with us at Use All Five to work up a Chrome extension that uses the Google Translate API to translate intermittent phrases on a web page. Et voila! You can now browse the web in Frenglish, Spanglish or even Tagaloglish.
