Google Translate ignores Balochi

Google is one popular platform that the neglected Balochistan province can use to garner world and state attention

TURBAT: Recently, Google added 13 languages to its online translation service. It is a charming step taken by Google but it is sad that there has been no motivation towards adding the neglected Balochi language to its services. Likewise, Balochi dictionary translations cannot be found, nor anything related to the language of Balochistan. Google is one popular platform that the neglected Balochistan province can use to garner world (and state) attention and it is hoped that we are, one day, included in the service.
