Do Research in Languages you Don’t Speak

Today Google Translate launched a nice side by side search engine that might be useful for those researching in languages they don’t speak. Just type in what you are looking for in English and what language you want to search. There are 11 languages right now including very difficult languages like Chinese, Arabic, Korean and Japanese (not to mention the typical ones).
The search results display in a nice double column format that is easy to compare. I think that if we give this one a little more time it is going to become more and more prevalent across Google search products. Keep your eyes out… and until then enjoy looking up the stuff you always wanted to know in other languages.
