Google's acquisition of Etherpad came at a time when Wave was still being talked about by the cool kids. Its collaboration chops seemed well-suited to Wave's real-time environment.

Hace 3 días os contábamos que Google Translate hablaba 34 idiomas más, y algunos de vosotros os quejábais en los comentarios de que no había traductor de euskera.
