Google Translator Toolkit is a web application designed to allow translators to edit the translations that Google Translate automatically generates. With the Google Translator Toolkit, translators can organize their work and use shared translations, glossaries and translation memories. They can upload and translate Microsoft Word documents, OpenOffice.org, RTF, HTML, text, and Wikipedia articles. Google Translator Toolkit is supported by Google Translate, a web-based translation service. Google Translator Toolkit can be configured to automatically pre-translate uploaded documents using Google Translate. Google Translator Toolkit was released by Google Inc. on June 8, 2009.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Translating the world's information with Google Translator Toolkit )〕 This product was expected to be named Google Translation Center, as had been announced in August 2008. However, the Google Translation Toolkit turned out to be a less ambitious product: "document rather than project-based, intended not as a process management package but simply another personal translation memory tool". Google claims that Google Translator Toolkit is part of their "effort to make information universally accessible through translation" and "helps translators translate better and more quickly through one shared, innovative translation technology." 〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Google Translator Toolkit )〕 Originally the Google Translator Toolkit was meant to attract collaboratively-minded people, such as those who translate Wikipedia entries or material for non-governmental organizations. However, nowadays it is also more and more widely used in commercial translation projects. "The significance of the Google Translator Toolkit is its position as a fully online software-as-a-service (SaaS) that mainstreams some backend enterprise features and hitherto fringe innovations, presaging a radical change in how and by whom translation is performed." 〔 == Source and target languages == Starting with only one source language – English and 47 target languages in June 2009, Google Translator Toolkit now supports 100,000 language pairs. Now you can translate from 345 source languages into 345 target languages in Translator Toolkit. 〔(Google translator toolkit - Supported languages )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Google Translator Toolkit」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
