Popular web-translating tool, Google Translate, now allows users to convert English into Farsi and vice versa. Farsi is of course known as the language of Persians.
The service is free, “whether it’s a news story, a Web site, a blog, an e-mail, a tweet or a Facebook message,” a Google news release said. “We feel that launching Persian is particularly important now, given ongoing events in Iran.”
The ongoing events in Iran have gotten even more contested as Iran’s Supreme Leader supports the decision of last week’s election wherein Former President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad beat out popular candidate Mir-Hossein Mousavi. The service could help millions better understand the events going on in a country that has repeatedly suffered biased news services and Internet “blackouts” during the 2009 election.
Google Translate now translates in over 45 languages (46 by my count).
