Google is adding support for 24 new languages to its Translate tool, the company announced today during its I/O 2022 developer conference. Among the newly available languages are Sanskrit, Tsongae and Sorani Kurdish.
According to Google CEO Sundar Pichai, the expansion allows the company to cover languages spoken by more than three million people. Pichai credited the breakthrough to a new monolingual AI learning approach where Google’s translation algorithm learns how to translate a language without ever seeing a translation of it.
