Google in Hawaiian now available
August 11, 2009

The University of Hawaii at Hilo has announced the development of a Hawaiian language interface for Google, the world’s most popular Internet search engine.

The translation project is part of the Google in Your Language program, which encourages advocates of minority and indigenous languages to translate several of Google’s products into their own languages.

“The addition of a Hawaiian language interface for Google is a tremendous development for Hawaiian speakers,” said Dr. Kalena Silva, director of Ka Haka Ula O Keelikolani. “Google is the most heavily-used search engine on the Internet, and from a practical and a symbolic standpoint, this interface puts Hawaiian on par with the many other languages that Google currently supports.”
