The stuff about Google Translate is also great news for my daughters who both study Japanese. Google Translate has up until now been truly terrible at translating Asian languages but perhaps this is no longer the case. If so this is going to make a whole series of texts accessible for the first time instead of being comically opaque.

Here’s an example of the kind of unintentional linguistic comedy Google Translate has been previously famous for:

We also have this tool called Websked, which is now in the newsroom, where basically now for the first time there is a central command where the editors can see what’s being worked on across the newsroom—in video and photography and blogs.

You need to input a time to end—when do you think that story you’re writing is going to be ready? As your time draws near, the desk will send a reminder: Hey, your story is due in an hour. We see you haven’t yet finished the third paragraph. You see the curve every day of how many pieces of content were published by hour.

Marty sets a curve that he wants. He wants 30 percent of it at 9 am. We own the URL America’s First Read. We want to move that curve. There is the culture, then there are the tools that enable that culture to flourish.
