Hello,
I noticed some problems when I use Esperanto with Google products:
- Google Chrome believes Esperanto webpages are Croatian
- Gmail often classifies Esperanto mail as spam
- Google Translate doesn't support Esperanto
have you experienced other problems?
Richard

Google Chrome thinks that Esperanto websites are Croatian, but I think it's wonderful that Google Translate is able to correctly identify it. To be fair, do you expect Google to develop an automatic translation tool for Esperanto, when there are many national languages spoken by many people which are still not represented there? For example, Hindi is represented, but Bengali, with about 230 million speakers, is not. I would never expect Esperanto (fewer than 1 million speakers) to get priority over languages with tens of millions of speakers.
I haven't had any problems with my Esperanto mail being classified as spam. But if you use Esperanto only infrequently by e-mail, and if it's mainly through mailing lists rather than personal correspondence, perhaps that's why your stuff ends up in the spam bin.

. I can forsee a google translation for Esperanto coming at some point regardless though, since it can actually recognise Esperanto. Perhaps it might be there in 2 years or so?Anyway, Google employees have said they would like to do it, but they need TMX files (Not sure what they are, but check out the link anyway):
Translator Toolkit API question about translating to/from Esperanto.
That seems to be from mid year this year (the US date system is confusing me though)
Also, stuff about said TMX files (translation memory?):
Uploading a translation memory
And all possible source/target languages here

I don't know about Google but there is a machine translation into Esperanto going on For Wikipaedia articles (English to Esperanto).
I seem to recall that when I last looked some 500,000 articles had already been translated.
The translation project can be researched by Googling GramTrans, and you can browse some of the translations here
