Google Translate has added support for 110 languages, representing 614 million speakers

Google today announced that it adds support to 110 languages ​​for its translation services. The company has used its Palm 2 AI model for energy translation. These languages ​​are Afar, Cantonese, Manx, Nko, Punjabi (Shahmukhi), Tamazight (Amazigh) and Tok Pisin. The company said the newly created languages ​​represent more than 614 million speakers, or about 8% of the world's population. Google noted that these languages ​​are in various stages of use. While some of them have 100 million speakers, some of them have no active speaker - but people are working to preserve these languages. Google said it is considering elements such as regional variants, dialects and different spelling standards while adding language support.

"Our approach has been to prioritize the most commonly used varieties of each language. For example, Romani is a language that has several dialects throughout Europe. Our model produces text that is closest to the Southern Vlax Romani variety commonly used on the web. But it also combines elements from other countries, such as Northern Vlachs and Balkan Gypsies," Google software engineer Isaac Caswell said in a statement.

Google Translate has added 110 languages ​​as part of its announced plan to support 1,000 languages ​​by 2022 using artificial intelligence. That same year, the company added support for 24 languages ​​spoken by more than 300 million people using a one-off model. With the latest addition, Google Translate now supports 243 languages. WWDC Apple announced that it would add support to translation applications in Hindi. However, compared to Google, Apple's translation supports only more than 20 languages.
