Joining the G30 Community and actively participating in its many discussion forums and other services provides many benefits for individual students.

One of them being latest updates on academic events and announcements via the Blog. It is possible to upload your documents and translate them into different languages and if you are unable to make sense of machine translations, you can ask the G30 Community users for help through multilingual BBS discussion forums which enable you to post messages in different languages, translate them into other languages by machine translation and dictionary services. Dictionary services enable you to create and manage your own dictionaries for the purpose of improving translation quality.

In addition, the Service Import function enables you to import other machine translation and dictionary services used for composite translations. Web Translation service provides you with a tool which can be used as a Web translation editor for you to translate different Web pages into multiple languages.

The student discussion forums also offer great hands on support from the student community at the Graduate School of Informatics if you face any problems in your school or daily life.
