Google Vertale voegt mie taole toe

Paul Heymont 7/2/247:00 AM

If you're not sure just what that headline means, Google Translate can now assist you, because it's in Limburgish, one of 108 languages recently added to the popular app.

The headline, in fact, translates to "Google Translate adds more languages."

Some of the others newly-added include Breton, Cantonese (Southern China), Manx (Isle of Man), Punjabi (India-Pakistan), Tamazight (North Africa), Sicilian, Venetian, and Occitan (Southern France). Limburgish is spoken (by about 1.6 million people, but few as their main language) in the Limburg area that touches on Belgium, the Netherlands and Germany.

And, the app for the first time includes Portuguese as spoken in Portugal; up to now, it has focused on the largest Portuguese-speaking market, Brazil.

Adding the new languages, whose incorporation into the system was aided by Google's artificial intelligence model PaLM 2, adds as many as 614 possible new users.
