Twitter translating Egyptian tweets

Earlier this week, Twitter quietly launched a translation service, translating tweets in Spanish, Italian and German.

Today, given what’s happening in Egypt, it rolled out that translation service for the tweets of about 100 prominent Egyptians into English.

So you can read the tweets from people like Mohamed Morsi — now no longer the leader of Egypt.

There’s a lot happening in the world.  Through it all, Marketplace is here for you. 

You rely on Marketplace to break down the world’s events and tell you how it affects you in a fact-based, approachable way. We rely on your financial support to keep making that possible.
