It’s not unusual to come across Latin when you’re stumbling across a science text of one kind or another. Thanks to Google, I may no longer have suffer from my ignorance of the language. From the Fast Company article by Kit Eaton,
Google translate is powerful–and though it’s not fool-proof and we’re all used to seeing humorously inaccurate Google machine translation efforts used where a real human translator should’ve been, it’s penetrating many people’s lives on a daily basis because it’s so accessible and so damn useful. So now Google has taken what may be the ultimate translation step, and launched a facility to translate into and from a dead language: Latin.
Google titled its blog post announcing the news “Veni, vidi, verba verti” (I came, I saw, I translated the words) and the rest of the body is in Latin too.
