Google recently announced a significant expansion of its Translate platform, introducing 110 new languages to users worldwide. This milestone was achieved through the integration of advanced artificial intelligence (AI) models, marking the largest expansion in Google Translate's history.
The addition of these new languages, facilitated by the PaLM 2 large language model (LLM), now enables translations for over 614 million speakers, representing approximately 8% of the global population. The languages range from major world languages with millions of speakers to those spoken by smaller Indigenous communities.
