The title of this post sums it all; Google is now available in the Hawaiian language. Right now one can access the Hawaiian version of Google’s search engine from the Safari browser, but soon enough it will be available with other browsers as well. Although users of the Hawaiian version would find instructions in the Hawaiian language, the results would be in English.
This milestone has been the result of painstaking efforts made by Keola Donaghy, an assistant professor from the University of Hawaii-Hilo. In 1997, Donaghy had translated the web browser Netscape. He had been pursuing Google for three years trying to convince them to add support for Hawaiian languages.
For the Google project, Donaghy spent around a hundred hours working on producing the language translation. He supplied the Hawaiian versions of the 2,500 “strings” used by the Google search engine. These “strings” include words, sentences and paragraphs. Donaghy would now like to work towards a Hawaiian version of Facebook.
