I just noticed today that Google Translate has started supporting Thai translations. I’ve been checking back frequently – I use this service to translate pretty much every other language. I’m excited to see if it’s better than the thai2english.com and thai-language.com bulk lookup tools.
If the results seem a bit odd – try checking back in a few months. I noticed the other languages improved over time. Or you can help them by suggesting a better translation.
Its because google switched over to pure heuristics. Not a rule based system. So the more thai->english translation texts it reads the better it gets, up to a point.
So it may get better as time goes on. This just means they think it got good enough to show people.
Heuristics! Of. Course!!
