Important update for Google Translator: added new 60 languages and it will be possible to frame a text with the camera to get the translation
Artificial Intelligence is starting to permeate all layers of our online lives. It’s now present in many aspects of the technology we use every day and normally take for granted. Artificial intelligence algorithms, for example, allow us to instantly translate phrases in hundreds of idioms thanks to Google Translator.
The developers at Big G have developed a system based on neural machines, artificial intelligence and machine learning to provide the best possible user experience. Thanks to Neural Machine Translation technology, for example, Google’s translator app can interpret phrases and texts even without an Internet connection, while using the device’s camera to translate road signs, billboards and more by simply framing them.
Google Translate Instant camera
The Mountain View giant has dramatically improved this feature by making it more streamlined, and faster, as well as integrating support for 60 new languages. The new update brings the number of foreign languages supported by the Google Translate Instant Camera to 88, from Arabic to Hindi, Malaysian to Vietnamese.
The most important change, however, is another. The Google Translator camera is now capable of automatically recognizing the language of the framed text, instantly offering a translation. This way you won’t have to waste time searching the list of supported languages for the one you’re interested in, and you’ll be able to see the meaning of the text immediately.
The evolution of Google Translate
Last May, Google Translate was implemented in Google Lens, which uses the Google Assistant to take advantage of the intelligent recognition of what’s in the camera’s frame to locate text, objects, places, points of interest and barcodes. In addition, Google Translate is already present in voice assistant-equipped speakers like Nest Home.
