Today, Map Maker was launched for European countries: Albania, Belarus, Kosovo, Macedonia, Moldova, Montenegro, Romania and Serbia. If you don't know what is Map Maker and what's possible with it, check this post about Map Maker graduation and this video

This is very exciting for me, since it means that my hometown of Minsk can be properly mapped finally, and I myself can take part in it. Also it signifies the first official launch of the Google product translated professionally into Belarusian; before today, there were only volunteer translations for search and few other products. Even though these professional translations needed a bit of checking and adaptation to the real product :).

I write more detailed about the launch in my Belarusian blog; if you read Belarusian, check launch announcement and first advices. More posts are coming there soon.
