Google Docs Automatically Translates Documents into 42 Languages [Google Docs]


While most of us don't frequently find ourselves needing to translate our documents to various languages on-the-fly, Google Docs just announced a new feature that'll be great for those who do: The service now automatically translates docs in 42 different languages with a few mouse clicks.

Translating docs is a breeze: Just hit up the Tools menu, select Translate document, then choose the language you want to translate to. Docs will open the translated document in a new window, then offer to replace the original document with the translation or copy the translation to a new document. It's probably not for everyone, but it's a nice feature, nonetheless, and yet another example of Google's continued march toward integrating their various services.
