The “En|Ru” link on the right of article titles on this site is supposed to 1) get translated version of the article from the database 2) if it’s empty, use Google Translate API.

Part #2 has never worked: the API was being changed and I was lazy to keep up with it. After it’d been changed to v2 I decided that I’d better wait until it’s become stable. Well, it has become stable now I believe but it’s also become a paid service :)

Well, I can’t say it’s so much of a pity: En/Ru machine translation is so ugly that it is almost unusable.

Funny to see how my name is transliterated to :

Persian:

یگر سیمونوو

Greek:

Ηγορ Συμονοβ

Hebrew:

יגור סימונוב

Russian:

Игорь Симонов

Hm, looks familiar :)

(If you see some weird squares instead of good-looking symbols, try to set UTF-8 encoding manually. If doesn’t help, you don’t have proper fonts)

Waiting for Japanese. I want to see my name in hieroglyphs :)

Update – Japanese:

There are many variants, just some of them:

いごr しものv

以後r 下のv

囲碁r 霜のv
