On the initiative of GTUG Armenia (Google Technology User Group Armenia), Yerevan took part in the two-day Chrome-hackathon of CIS countries.

GTUG Armenia moderator Vardan Grigoryan told a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter that Armenia was represented by 7 participants who presented 2 projects.

“The participants created two extensions for Chrome browser. One of them allows web addresses’ availability for offline viewing. The other is called Easy Translate. It allows to mark any word or text on a webpage to see their translation. The extension includes Google Translate and Lingvo,” Grigoryan said, adding that both extensions will be improved during a month.

The best extensions selected by the a Google jury will be presented at DemoFest event in Moscow on October 9.

Grigoryan rates Armenia’s chances to win as high.
