The Interactive European Etymology Map

I'm a big fan of the e'er fascinating Etymology Maps thread on Reddit. The thread features discussion maps, maps that visualize 1 mutual discussion inwards all the unlike languages of Europe. For example, 'Christmas' inwards European languages, 'Meat' inwards European languages together with 'Clock' inwards European languages.

James Trimble is every bit good a big fan of the Reddit thread together with spell browsing the maps had a chip of an epiphany. He realized that yous could endure the Google Translate API amongst D3 to practise an interactive Etymology Map that allows yous to visualize whatever discussion that yous desire inwards all the unlike European languages.


The final result is the European Word Translator. Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 map that uses the Google Translate API to exhibit yous the European translations of whatever word. Just type a discussion into the search box together with yous tin persuasion on the D3 map all the translations of the discussion inwards all the European countries.
