Workshop on Google




Ms Jaonne Stevens, Program Manager, and Jennifer Haroon, Manager, Google.org visited Lovely Professional University for a pilot project of Google, where students were trained to use google translator, and how to translate health related articles from English to Hindi.



As google translator may not translate the health related articles into Hind effectively, so a human touch is required in between to make translation effective.
The translated articles are also reviewed to ensure the quality of translated article. Students were also told how to publish translated article on Wikipedia against their name.


A total of five articles of around 10,000 words were translated on the same day, and an amount of $300 was raised as charity through this process for various NGOs around the world.
