Bangalore: Identifying the importance that the Google accords to the expanding Indian market, Google has launched Hindi as one of the languages on its popular Google translate application.
Followed by Google?s move to capture Chinese market, the company sees big opportunity in the growing Indian market and the increased use of the search engine and other products. The Google translator is a very useful tool for providing translation services to the net users. The availability of Hindi in its translation application will give a boost to search engine's use in the Indian market.
Nonetheless, the product is useful in a very narrow sense that it cannot translate intricate phrases and sentences and can be of help only for a very limited purpose. Last year, Google had launched an India serving innovation platform, Google India Labs, and two India facing products- Google Local Search and Google Local Business Centre.
