Online search giant Google has announced the launch of Google Translate in Hindi. This new feature will allow users to seamlessly navigate from English to Hindi.

Users wanting to use the service can visit *www.google.com/translate_t and translate any page from English to Hindi. Furthermore users can also type using their regular keyboard. For example typing in "Aap" automatically becomes the Hindi word for you without having to use a special keyboard.

Similarly users can also add an iGoogle Gadget and get access to Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada and Malayalam and create their own scraps or blogs in these languages.

Currently Google Translate allows for translation of English into 14 local dialects including Arabic and Hindi. The company said on its web site that it is working to include more languages.

"We're working to support other languages and will introduce them as soon as the automatic translation meets our standards. It's difficult to project how long this will take, as the problem is complex and each language presents its own unique challenges," Google added.

It is a great start. But it does need a lot of improvement. Whereas Hindi to English works up to the mark, but English to Hindi produces very weird results even for simple sentences.
