Google Translate's Massive Expansion: 110 New Languages
Language enthusiasts rejoice! Google Translate has undergone its biggest expansion yet, adding 110 new languages to its already extensive library. This update has been made possible thanks to Google's cutting-edge artificial intelligence tool, PaLM 2, which can handle a vast array of languages with impressive accuracy. The expansion is a significant one, as the newly added languages are spoken by an estimated 614 million people globally.
Diverse Range of Languages
Among the new languages are several African tongues such as Fon, Kikongo, Luo, Ga, Swati, Venda, and Wolof. Additionally, widely spoken languages like Cantonese and Punjabi (Shahmukhi) are part of the update. Lesser-known languages have also made the cut, including the Sicilian version of Italian, the near-extinct Celtic language Manx, and the Papua New Guinea creole Tok Pisin.
Revolutionizing Translation with PaLM 2
PaLM 2, which stands for Pathways Language Model 2, has significantly boosted Google Translate's capabilities. For languages that feature multiple dialects or varying spelling standards, like Romani and its three dialects, PaLM 2 helps Google Translate opt for the most universally understood versions. Its advanced technology excels in managing closely related languages and their nuances, ensuring that translations are not only accurate but also culturally relevant.
From Humans to AI
Originally designed to better facilitate communication between humans and AI, PaLM 2 now plays a crucial role in upgrading Google Translate. It has previously been used to teach robots to interpret human commands and tasks, showcasing its versatility. The best part about this update? It's easily accessible on the web or through the Google Translate app, available on Android and iOS devices. Say hello to a world of new languages at your fingertips!
