About Translations

The purpose of this poll was not to measure the popularity of all languages, but only the interest of KDnuggets readers in 5 European languages above for which the automated translation technology is currently most developed. Besides the 5 languages above, KDnuggets readers were interested in translations to Chinese, Russian, Hindi, Polish, Japanese, Korean, Dutch, and 6 UN Languages (see www.un.org). Clearly, these languages are important, but automated translation between English and these languages is not yet well developed, as far as I know.

Selected Comments

  • Portuguese language is widely spoken all over the world. We understand English but not everything. I think it is important.

  • pueden hacer la pagina en espaņol
  • you should have split the "no" category to identify native and non-native speakers
  • Well, Spanish seems to be the second in importance, I think this is worth considering. Cheers, Juan.
  • I think that only Americans think that English is the universal language. I have travelled in many developed countries where English is not widely understood.
  • English is the world language. Why bother with anything else? Eventually, everyone will speak English.
  • English is an universal language. Let us accept it. Still we can continue learning local language. Use English as a link language
