Microsoft Translator now supports Yucatec Maya and Querétaro Otomi languages
Found on Betanews on Monday, 23 February 2015
"Maya and Otomi are indigenous languages from Mexico which are both currently threatened. Although they are still in use, the number of speakers is decreasing and younger people are not speaking them as actively as their elders. The new automatic translation systems will help the Maya and Otomi people safeguard their language and culture for generations to come".
Even if the languages end up fading away from actual use, it should live digitally forever.
Microsoft makes the assumption that machine-translated texts make more sense than they currently do.
