Yes - and if you click on the languages link on the main Google page,
you can also search in Klingon.
For even more fun, try "The Dialectizer" at:
<http://rinkworks.com/dialect/>
You can use it to translate whole web pages - or just your own documents
- into a dialect of your choice such as:
Redneck
Jive
Cockney
Elmer Fudd
And my personal favorite - Swedish Chef.
Here is a sample. I have provided an English translation in case you
can't get through all the "Bork! Borks!" and "Hurty-Flurties".
Dialectized Text (bork)

ENGLISH TRANSLATION:
I hope you have a wonderful start to your school year. Enjoy all the
great parts of your job and try to shrug off those annoyances that you
can not change. Turn to LM_NET often and take time for yourself. Most
of all - take time to laugh out loud every day!!

poetry and to put knowledge smack dab in the middle of the American
way."

"Manners are of more importance
than laws. Manners are what vex
or soothe,
corrupt or purify, exalt or
debase, barbarize or refine us,
by a constant,
steady, uniform, insensible
operation, like that of the air
we breathe in."
Edmund Burke (1729-1797)
