Google Sightseeing now Available in Six Languages!
Wednesday, 9th July 2008 by James Turnbull
Today we’re extremely proud to be launching three new translations of Google Sightseeing: Dutch, German and Spanish!
These three new blogs join our successful existing translations of French and Italian, so you can now come sightseeing around Google Earth with us in 6 different languages.
We have three new authors who will be translating all the best posts from the English language GSS for their own languages, as well as posting some of their own language specific stuff as well.
See our very first Press Release for more details (which is, naturally, available in 6 languages).
Eventually we'd like Google Sightseeing to be available to everyone, so we plan to expand into even more languages in the future - if you're fluent in another language (especially any of the languages offered by Google Earth) and would like to have your own Google Sightseeing blog then please get in touch.
And for your first test, who can successfully take on the translation of “Speaking to himself while writing this press release in the third person, James Turnbull said” in the press release?
Gracias
Clicked on “get in touch” and got “page not found” 🙁
@Muka, Oh yeah, uh, that was a test – you passed! 😀
(I’ve fixed the link, thanks)
So, who are these new authors? We want to know all the details – name, age, credit card number…
Great! GSS in Dutch! But I’ll keep reading the English version. One learns some vocabulary and expressions here! 🙂
I second Dr R: I think they deserve a mention.
@dr.R, Tammo:
de.gss is written by Andreas Hüner, from Berlin.
es.gss is written bt Eduardo Moreno, a student from Mexico.
nl.gss is written by Robert de Bock, who also writes IT articles.
But I’m sure they could each tell you much more about themselves…
