Google launched Messages for Japan

Google launched a site at messagesforjapan.com that allows people from around the world to submit messages of hope for the people of Japan.

http://www.messagesforjapan.com/

These messages are automatically translated into Japanese using the Google Translate API so that people in Japan can read them. People can share the messages, view messages from others, see them on a world map, and donate on the site.

We hope that these messages from around the world will provide inspiration to the people of Japan as we face this challenge, and that the donations raised through this site and others will help the country on its road to rebuilding.
