Google claims that this means the service, which started in April 2006, covers 99 percent of the online population.
After adding 13 new languages, including Hawaiian and Kurdish, Google Translate now includes more than 100 languages (103 to be exact). Google’s online translation tool hit a major milestone today as it nears its 10th anniversary.
