A little while ago I was asked to figure out a solution to a user experience problem that was affecting some of our offerings such as the Bing text and web page<\/a> translators. A \u201cbug<\/a>\u201d was assigned to me, asking me to weigh in on how to deal with a problem of plenty: Given we were about to add a substantial set of new languages we were running out of space to display them properly. What could be a quick interim fix?<\/p>\n Several months ago, while announcing the availability of Hebrew in our language list, I had requested<\/a> our community of users what else they wanted to see supported. Taking into account all the feedback that came in since then, we have been hard at work to add support to new languages. This is why it\u2019s always a pleasure to encounter problems like the one above \u2013 they indicate that this work was coming to fruition.<\/p>\n I am happy to announce the addition of seven new languages to our translation service. As always, they will be immediately available for your use through the APIs<\/a> and all the products that consume the service. Here is the list of languages that have been added in the latest release. In addition there have been several updates to the Haitian Creole language since we last talked about it here.<\/p>\n New languages:<\/p>\n ROM – Romanian This brings our languages supported number to 30 languages.
