Google Translate continues to get better, as the company has used AI to add 110 new languages to the feature, Engadget reports. According to Google, the new languages represent over 600 million speakers, or 8% of the worldwide population. 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.".
