With first release of Google translation for Khmer language, of course, there are many translation mistakes that need time to correct for more accuracy in the future.

BUT we, Cambodians, can be a part to help this translator works better for us by contributing our correction day by day.

As stated in Google translation blog about Khmer language:

Khmer is a challenging language for translation systems for two reasons: There isn’t a lot of Khmer data on the web and words are not usually separated by spaces; so in addition to teaching our translation system a new language, it also has to learn how to separate words (what we call segmentation).

And we know that our language is complicated in computing modelling and processing.

So we need time and our own helps.

 

Personalize your translation

If we found any incorrect translation

google-translation-panel

You can help to correct such above translation.

  • On your right top, you could see “Show Phrasebook” that will be stored what you have corrected
  • On below the translation, you could see a star to mark your correct translation
  • To correct, just mouse over the wrong phrase and type the correct sentence as following:
google-translation-correct-khmer-v1

 

  • After you corrected, star it, you will see your translated sentences in your phrasebook:
google-translation-correct-khmer-phrasebook

By personalize your own translation in phrase book, it will automatically help you to remember the right translation when Google found frequently translating the same sentence.

  • To let Google learn more about your contribution, tick it as helpful if the translation is corrected.

Contribute Translation

You can export your phrase book data to Google drive and then download as text file (.txt) then upload to http://translate.google.com/toolkit/.

You can edit the correction and try at custom search of the toolkit.

google-translate-toolkit-modify

Google will collect and learn from you translation.

More and more people continue contribution, the better translation we have in a near future.

If you have any other way to contribute the translation, please help to inform via comment form below.

 

Google translator is now including Khmer language

Now we have Khmer language translation available in Google translator that is really a new big step forward to let the world understand Cambodia through our language.

You can now translate from Khmer to any language and vice versa.

To translate from Khmer to other language, you need to write using Khmer unicode.

Thank Google and thank to developer.

PS: If you found any uncorrected translation, please help to correct it and contribute the correction, this way, it will help the translation is more accuracy in the future.

It’s kind of new terms, we need to get to know:

Spam blog has been called Splog and run by Splogger with intended to spam your blog by sending ads links to your post activity or comment.

Definition given by Wikipedia:

A spam blog, sometimes referred to by the neologism splog, is a blog which the author uses to promote affiliated websites, to increase the search engine rankings of associated sites or to simply sell links/ads.

If you are running WordPress that allows users registration, sure there will be many spammers tried to auto log or register into your system.

Akismet is a free and very good plugin to help cleaning and prevent all spammed comments on your wordpress system.

But if you are running a wordpress with buddypress, you will face difficulty to prevent such Sploggers just with only the Akismet alone, you need more help.

I have recently face this after long time haven’t checked some of my WordPress sites that allow user login, there are so many sploggers which I though they are our registered users but in fact, they are spammers, their activities are so strange and their posts are all advertising links and message which is really out of the site topics or similar.

I have tried with another free plugin called WangGuard, I just need to signup one account, get the API and configure it, it did all stuffs for me via wizard and it works very well to clean all those sploggers.

Now I got my site clean.

Also, WangGuard is not only be able to use on WordPress, you can take its API to make other CMS as well.

So don’t forget these two plugins for your WordPress site.

Google translate Khmer

Non-khmer speaking netizens around the world may be able to read and understand Khmer-language websites as soon as the end of the year, if the planned release of Google’s Khmer translation feature goes according to schedule.

The tool has been in the works for about five years and now it is being tested internally now.

That’s a very good move. Thanks to Google, Open Institute and all other involved parties to make this happen. Hope we will have it soon in this year.

 

Updated 19/04:

We have it now, Khmer language is already available on Google translator.
