  14. Why Manual Translation? • Only translate the user interface • Do not translate files on Google Docs • Precise Translation (w. many idioms) • ex. “Save As…” → 「名前をつけて保存…」 • UI のみを翻訳したい • Google Docs の文書は翻訳しちゃダメ • 正確な翻訳 (超訳が必要な場合も) Mylingual - There's More Than One Language To Do It

  15. Why Translate on Browser? • To support services w. authentication • Proxies cannot translate Google Docs, Mixi, … • 認証が必要なサービスをサポートするため • プロキシだと Google Docs や Mixi を翻訳できない Mylingual - There's More Than One Language To Do It

  19. Complex Translation (ex. Date Format) “05 Apr 2007” → 「2007年4月05日」 /^(\d{2}) (Jan|Feb|…|Dec) (\d{4})$/ => $3年$R2$1日 Jan => 1月 Feb => 2月 ... Dec => 12月 Note: $Rx stands for recursive replacement Mylingual - There's More Than One Language To Do It
