Google Translate, another one of Google’s nifty creations, lets users translate text or web between languages. It currently supports translation of over 50 languages. And according to Rohan Jayaweera the Country Consultant for Google Sri Lanka, support for Sinhala on Google Translate will be added very soon.
Getting a new language on board is a long and hard process which comprises of creating required algorithms as well as gathering a large enough databases to tune it. It would have been particularly difficult to collect the data set for Sinhala, as the availability of the exact literature in both Sinhala and English being limited. However seems that the Google team have almost cracked it and would be releasing Sinhala support in the near future.
The addition of Sinhala would be a great boost to the Sinhala community for using the vast amount of information on the web with the ability to read it in their own native language. Their would be some accuracy issues involved as it is hard to obtain an optimum translation algorithm at the beginning.(As seen with few other languages on Google translate.) However those can be improved with further data input and tuning.
We will keep you updated on the addition of Sinhala Google Translation, which will definitely be a major step in the Sri Lankan web space!

When will this be launched?
Portuguese explorers first reached Sri Lanka in 1505, and built their first Sri Lankan fort at the port town of Colombo in 1517. Portugal extended its influence over the coastal areas of the island, and by 1619 had tromped out one of the two major kingdoms of Sri Lanka.
The remaining monarch, Rajasinghe II (1629-1687) (his domain was known as Kandy: Thus he was the King of Kandy. Seriously.), allied with the Dutch (more specifically the Dutch East India Company) when they showed up in 1638, to get rid of the Portuguese. The Dutch-Portuguese War (1602-1663) had already been going on for decades, and the Dutch were only too happy to try to steal Portuguese colonial holdings in
I would recommend you not hold your breadth. This *will* happen eventually, but unless there is an alternative to the current SMT approach, this is going to require a very large bilingual text corpus , probably about 1 million words. For most countries, this is usually the parliamentary Hansard, but the Sri Lankan Hansard is not digitized, and the few portions that are digitized are not in Unicode. The Gazette is a good source but the last time this was looked at a few year ago, there just weren’t enough volumes.
It’s realy good

Use error and correct method and International Phonetic Alphabet when matching and introducing Sinhala translations to Google. It will be the deepest language in earth with large spectrum of vowels and consonant sounds. 1234567890 digits are to be used when matching. Because it is tally with Sinhala language at the beginning.
It is excellent effort.
thanks
