Google Uses AI to Add Over 100 New Languages to Translate

Google Uses AI to Add , Over 100 New Languages to Translate.

Google Translate continues to get better, as the company has used AI to add 110 new languages to the feature, Engadget reports.

.

According to Google, the new languages represent over 600 million speakers, or 8% of the worldwide population.

.

Google referenced its LLM, PaLM 2, as "a key piece to the puzzle, helping Translate more efficiently learn languages that are closely related to each other," .

... "including languages close to Hindi, like Awadhi and Marwadi, and French creoles like Seychellois Creole and Mauritian Creole.".

Isaac Caswell, senior software engineer for Google Translate, issued a statement about the development.

As technology advances, and as we continue to partner with expert linguists and native speakers, we'll support even more language varieties and spelling conventions over time, Isaac Caswell, senior software engineer for Google Translate, via Engadget.

The last time Translate had a sizeable number of languages added to it was in May of 2022.

At the time, the company utilized the help of Zero-Shot Machine Translation, which "allows a model to learn a new language" without viewing examples, Engadget reports.

.

Later in 2022, Google announced its 1,000 Languages Initiative.

The Initiative seeks to develop AI models that can learn the 1,000 most common languages spoken around the world.
