How To Translate Malayalam To English In Google?

Why is there no Google translate for Malayalam?

  • Just because of curiosity I am asking this, In http://translate.google.com we can translate Hindi, Tamil, Telugu but why they are not adding Malayalam language? Update as on 12-Dec-2014: Malayalam is now available for translation at Google Translate.

  • Answer:

    When people dont use the language on daily usage what is the use of adding in the translation. Watch any media even the print media (newspaper) dont use Malayalm 100% . So the language will be wiped slowly from usage.Fact is malayalam doesnt have new words or phrases, so it is not surprising that language will die soon. So malayalis should ask their govt and themselves to make it in the usage in daily practice (eg . TV media ,print media) . try to find new words for the english words.

Faith grows in small places. You can’t control the outcome, only your choices. Do what you can, as much as you can, whenever you can. Leave the rest to fate, to faith, to the way of nature. Let go of the results. There’s honor in fighting a losing battle for the right reasons.

I'm wondering the same thing too. I've suggested they add Malayalam in their feedback, maybe everyone who is interested should do the same? Probably in the years to come they will add Malayalam to the list.

I think Google has a priority list which depends on two factors: what percentage of people speak the language as compared to the world population and if there is already another language which is close to it that could be used as base to quickly create a translation engine. That's what I can perceive from the languages included. For example, there's Hindi, and Gujrati, Punjabi and Nepali too, the last being recently included. If I am correct, since there is Bengali now, Assamese is next in line. I can see Malay and Indonesian which are almost the same, but there's also Javanese which is by no mean spoken by a huge number of people, yet included perhaps because of it's closeness to Indonesian. I am not sure of the case of Tamil and Telegu. Of course, to start with the list of languages was to cover the "main" representative languages of most nations. Anyway, my answer is mostly guess work. I wonder how correct I am.
