London - Search website Google.com has added Persian (Farsi) to its Google Translate services Friday, the company said.
The facility would allow opposition groups within Iran to communicate more widely with the outside world through internet and social networking sites in Persian.
'We feel that launching Persian is particularly important now, given ongoing events in Iran. Google is one more tool that Persian speakers can use to communicate directly to the world and vice- versa,' said a statement.
According to the website Technorati.com in 2005, Farsi tied with French as the second most blogged-in language after English.
