Google is adding support for 110 new languages to the Google Translate application. The application supported 133 languages so far. Therefore, this expansion, which the company says is its largest ever, marks a significant leap forward.
Google’s PaLM 2 AI language model helped Translate learn these new languages. It’s especially good to learn related languages, such as “near-Hindi languages like Awadhi and Marwadi, and French Creoles like Seychellois Creole and Mauritian Creole,” Google’s Isaac Caswell noted in a blog post.
The list of newly supported languages in Translate includes Cantonese, which “has long been one of the most requested languages for Google Translate,” says Caswell. “Because written Cantonese often overlaps with Mandarin Chinese, it is difficult to find data and train models,” Caswell said, adding that “about a quarter of new languages come from Africa.”
New languages added to Google Translate app are spoken by hundreds of millions of people
Caswell stated in an interview with The Verge that most new languages are spoken by at least a million people, while a few are spoken by hundreds of millions of people.
