Google's goal of making the web accessible to everyone, everywhere got a boost from a U.S. government-run test of which translation software works best, when Google's outperformed those of IBM and academia, reports CNET. Google scored the highest in the Arabic-to-English and Chinese-to-English translation tests conducted by the National Institute of Science and Technology. Google includes some machine translation tools on its site and on several international editions; like Yahoo and others, it is looking at the rest of the world for new customers. Judging from the languages selected for the tests, it's likely the U.S. government has other intentions.
