Google referenced its LLM, PaLM 2, as "a key piece to the puzzle, helping Translate more efficiently learn languages that are closely related to each other," .
... "including languages close to Hindi, like Awadhi and Marwadi, and French creoles like Seychellois Creole and Mauritian Creole.".
Isaac Caswell, senior software
engineer for Google Translate, issued
a statement about the development.
As technology advances, and as
we continue to partner with expert
linguists and native speakers, we'll
support even more language varieties
and spelling conventions over time, Isaac Caswell, senior software engineer
for Google Translate, via Engadget.
The last time Translate had a sizeable number of languages added to it was in May of 2022.
At the time, the company utilized the help of Zero-Shot Machine Translation, which
"allows a model to learn a new language" without viewing examples, Engadget reports. .
Later in 2022, Google announced its
1,000 Languages Initiative.
The Initiative seeks to develop AI models that can learn the 1,000 most common languages spoken around the world. .
