Parlez-vous Messenger Blog?
August 15, 2008 on 11:52 am | In News |
I added a new section to the blog called “Other Languages”. You’ll find the new button up above in the blue navigation bar.
With the help of a site called Mloovi.com, our blog content has been translated into several language (including Romanian!). Mloovi uses Google Translate to make this happen. This kind of automated translation is pretty good, but don’t expect perfect, exact translations. But I’ve been told by a French co-worker that the translation is decent.
The nicest thing is that you can subscribe to these translated feeds. Just click the orange subscribe button to the right of your language.
Don’t see your language in the list? Let me know by leaving a comment and if Mloovi offers it, I will add it. Or, head over to mloovi.com, enter the Messenger Blog feed into the box (http://feeds.feedburner.com/YahooMessengerBlog), choose your language and voila – you’re translated.

Very nice of you to add Romanian! As you probably know already YM! is the IM service of choice around here.

Yes, nice of you to add romanian. Even tho I think only romanian geeks read this blog (guilty.)
I wonder how many of them are Mac users
Probably not too many (off-topic, yes I know.)

it’s very cool that now we have the blog in Romanian and I want to THANK YOU sincerely! but we also wish to have an official Romanian translation of your messenger. There are some hacks of Y! Mess in Romanian circulating on the internet but of course these are illegal because no one asked you for permission.
please make an official Y! Mess translation or else the hacked versions will never cease to exist

Hi Sarah,
Commendable effort of making the blog available in so many languages!
I’m from India and thought I’d check out the Hindi version - to be frank, its pretty much a disappointment. One of the reasons is that a word to word translation from English to Hindi is virtually impossible.. it doesnt even come close.
In this age of artificial intelligence, how I crave for tools which would provide for language translation based on the context and meaning of a sentence rather than a verbatim one !
Cheers..

This is a very good ideea and i want to thank you. But there is a problem. I am romanian and the translation is very poor.
If i tell you “Translated from the Romanian Engleza is very weak.” you will understand something else than i really wanted to point out and it isn’t correct gramatically speaching. The same thing happens with the english-to-romanian translation. I think a better ideea would be a designated man who reads this blog and manually translates the feeds.

it’s good to see that the world is coming together,even if it is one reader at a time.

if u can do all that then why cant u control the porn bots in chat….. again and still they are out of hand and they constantly spam u…. this is not only annoying but illegal….. i suggest you get your programmers off their butts and start producing some code….. its fairly simple only allow 3 names to enter yahoo at one time per ip address that way it allows families to still chat and cuts down on the porn bots and the BOOTERS…..im sitting here in a room now with 45 chatters and 17 are bots………FIX IT

I’m an quad-lingual RSS addict, so I can say that Mloovi is a really brilliant idea (even though it’s just a connection to Google Translate)! Their widget is great too, I like how it is setup with addtoany to make feed subscribing even simpler. I know the translations aren’t perfect, but with Google’s “suggest translation” feature it’ll get better over time.

this is isn’t related to the subject of this blog entry but i didn’t know where else to ask. i tried 9.0 beta several months ago and the only qualm i had was in regards to the message that appears when you hover the mouse pointer over each friend’s name on the buddy list. the “hover message” no longer appeared and i would like to know if y’all added it back yet. it was especially helpful for those buddies that have status messages that are longer than the length of my messenger window.

How nice of you! Thank you for that.
What about http://www.yahoo.ro ?

Dan has a good question… When will the yahoo.ro be launched?

The Romanian translation may be not perfect, but it does it’s job.
I hope that you’ll release a Romanian version of Yahoo! Messenger in the future. As others said, it’s widely used here.

Thanks for that to all yahoo staff..
Evan if I won’t use too much the Romanian translation, I definitly apreciate that.
)..
- screaming yahoo -
The fact of theese days is that there are too much people (especially in the industrialized countries / rich countries) who haven’t at least the minimum ideea of how to spell an paragraph (oviously in English), our worse to explain you wich way is the bathroom.
So, I’ll rest with my moovies in their original languages english, french spanish, our italian and all daily blogs, news, and sites in their language(don’t ask me about chinese
At least there is one way to get more and more close to the perfection, right?!?
But, yes.. that wasn’t the real subject of the conversation, so this will rest helpfull for the ones who are not too familiar with the lovely english,
Thanks again to all yahoo staff, it’s a a nice and good step to get a better service wich untill now it was great!
cheers!
