Google says most online Arabic content lacks accuracy, quality
- Middle East: Saturday, November 10 - 2012 at 04:50
Google has said half of the Arabic content on the internet is replicated on different websites and written in weak Arabic, Jordan Times has reported. Online Arabic content does not exceed 3% of all content on the web and about 33% of it is restricted to members of online forums inaccessible to the public, Fayeq Oweis, Arabic localisation manager at Google, said in the Content Arabia conference in Amman. "A large percentage of this content includes factual and grammar mistakes," Oweis added, noting that the lack of Arabic content affects the quality of online translation. "When internet users translate a sentence from any language into Arabic on search engines for example, they may not get a proper and grammatically correct translation because some of the existing Arabic content already has problems and is inaccurate," he said.
