Translate Google+ Posts From Any Language to English or Any Language of Your Choice Chrome Plugin From Google Released!


Ever wondered in Google+, what somebody is saying in totally a different language that you don’t know or don’t even know what language he is talking in?

Google translate is a great service from google that supports machine based language translation absolutely free. All you have to do is copy and paste a piece of content in any language(over 58 languages supported) and paste into the text in the above page and google translate will automatically translate it into the 58 languages it supports. You can pick any from and to languages and pretty easy to use.

Now think about bringing the same power of translating google+ posts from any language to any language that google translate supports. It will be a natural fit. Since social networks are global and you may have friends all over the world. It is kind of wrong assumption that everyone knows english and even if they know english it’s kind of hard to get the context. One can better express himself in his own language than a foreign language he may have learned.

So, basically google+ posts need a language translation feature. To immediately solve this very useful requirement, google translate team has released a google chrome browser plugin that immediately gives power to the google plus and chrome web browser users to write, share and read in any language that google translate supports. This instant’s transforms google+ social network into the only social network that supports multi-language and a total of 58 languages out of the box.

The google+ chrome language plugin can be downloaded and installed from chrome web store.
