Perhaps this information is somewhat late because actually Google announced that they had added eleven new languages a week ago. Those languages are Catalan, Filipino, Hebrew, Indonesian, Latvian, Lithuanian, Serbian, Slovak, Slovenian, Ukrainian, and Vietnamese. Well, three of ASEAN languages are included. That sounds good…
I have just heard the information after reading a new post in one of mailing-list that I follow. I quote these from research.google.com,
As a result, we were recently able to significantly increase the number of languages on translate.google.com. Last week, we launched eleven new languages: Catalan, Filipino, Hebrew, Indonesian, Latvian, Lithuanian, Serbian, Slovak, Slovenian, Ukrainian, Vietnamese. This increases the total number of languages from 23 to 34.
I have tried to test it (Indonesian-English) with one of my post in this blog. Then, you may read the example and also see the screenshot below,

My previous post translated by Google Translate
Yeah, that is good but it is still imperfect and also funny (according to me
). Well, at least it is still better than another translator that I have tried before
. I think it is still useful for translating words (or even phrase) one by one but not always provides you the translated sentence that have the right syntax. Anyway, good job. Thumbs up for Uncle Google!

@dwinanto:
Iya, To. Mangstaf! Cuman masih belum sempurna. Ya, namanya juga baru… Babelfish-nya Yahoo katanya lebih bagus, cuman belum ada buat Bahasa Indonesia.
Oiya, kayaknya gak pake stemming2an (sotoy ah, kikikik…). “Terbuai”, “benarlah” (yang di contoh post gue kemarin) masih belum ada terjemahannya, padahal “benar” udah ada lho

Whew, I just know this feature after realize that beside the result link in http://www.google.co.id there is [Terjemahkan] link
And after I try this link, the result is satisfying enough.
So interesting, isn’t it?
Let’s help them (and another user of course) with “suggest a better translation” to improve this tool.
OK?
