​Hyderabad: University of Hyderabad (UoH), Vice Chancellor Prof Appa Rao Podile said that the machine translations can benefit the society as many books in other languages can now be translated into Telugu at a faster speed.

The book “Kshana Hottu Animuttu” was authored by S Shadakshari in Kannada and translated into Telugu titled ‘Kshanakalam Animutyam’ using “Saara” Translator developed by Prof Murthy, Dean, School of Computer and Information Sciences, at the University.
