Google has a vision of making its applications available in a variety of languages. It has certain merits i.e. it would help them gain popularity and people from different regions would be using their products. Proceeding with their vision, they have now made the translation also easier with OneBox.
Now its very easy to translate from one language to another. All you have to do is to write the word “translate” in the language in which you want translation in, and then write the word which you want to translate. Those words can be from any of the supported languages. The results are shown from the Google Dictionary which currently support 11 languages. The languages are English, French, German, Italian, Korean, Spanish, Russian, Chinese (Traditional), Chinese (Simplified), Portuguese and Hindi.
English to French
French to English
Though it translate words from different languages, the support to translate a sentence is yet to be included. To improve, they should first include support for as many languages as possible so that people would start learning from it, and then include the support for sentences/full text.
English to Spanish
But still many google translations are not acurate or somwtimes totally out of context…

Yes, you’re certainly right, Google doesn’t always provide you the accurate result but this may be because they’re in the initial stages of this service but anyway lets hope they improve in the near future.
