Google introduces native translations to Google+

Story flagged by: RominaZ

Google is introducing native language translations to Google+, eliminating the need for the Google Translate for Google+ Chrome extension that it announced back in August 2011.

Translations are “rolling out gradually”, starting with the desktop Web version of Google+, with mobile apps to follow in due course. The feature offers a one-click translation of all posts and comments that are not in a user’s native language, as a post from Google’s Ed Chi explains. More.

Serves its purpose Aug 26, 2013

I use Google translate to read Russian newspapers and it works well enough for me to understand the gist of the articles. However, it is of little help when a professional, quality translation is required. I don't feel threatened by it... yet.
