On the 27 March Bangladeshis united to add 700,000 words and phrases to Google Translate's Bengali translator. This smashed the previous world record of 400,000 words and phrases in one day. Thousands of Bangladeshis worked together in response to a national call for participants. At one point Google's servers crashed as ten thousand dictionary builders jammed the internet.
Google Translator is a free online translator for more than 90 different languages. Its ability to translate effectively is partly dependent on individuals adding words with accurate translations - all for free.
