Google Translate application gets a huge new update
Google Translate application will this week get an update that will improve the camera mode of the app. It will now be able to recognize 13 more languages, which means that the application will be able to translate nearly 50 languages in real time.
New supported languages include Arabic, Punjabi, Bengali, Vietnamese, Thai, Gujarati, Kannada, Nepali, Tamil, Telugu, and Malayalam. Hindi is also a part of the supported languages, which means that now the application can translate four of the world's top 10 most spoken languages.
Google Translate uses tech called Neural Machine Translation (NMT) – a machine learning process – which presents a translation in real time into the language of choice. How accurate that translation is can vary, though. This update will come to both iOS and Android at the same time.
