《商务导读》今天为大家推荐的是一篇来自美联社关于“谷歌工具栏增加多语种翻译功能”的报道：本周三Google宣布将推出12种语言的搜索请求和结果的自动翻译新功能，此举突显出Google在美国以外市场进行高速扩张的雄心。

SAN FRANCISCO (AFP) - Google on Wednesday launched a test version of a translation tool that enables people to search the Internet in any of a dozen languages and have the results converted into their chosen tongue.
 
A beta version of Google's "cross-language information retrieval (n. 信息检索)" feature is online at http://translate.google.com/translate_s.

The service "in effect, will make the Web universal," Google vice president of engineering Udi Manber said while describing it to the press at the Internet search giant's campus in Mountain View, California, last week.

"We have been working on translating all of the Web to all languages," Manber said. "The results are probably not perfect, but the information you want will be there."

Google's new software translates queries (n. 质问) to perform multi-lingual searches of the Internet and then converts the results to a searcher's language
