Google Translate just nearly doubled its number of supported languages
Google announced today that it has added support for 110 new languages to Google Translate, nearly doubling the number of languages that can be translated.
The company used the PaLM 2 large language model to facilitate these additions.
In a blog post, Google Senior Software Engineer Isaac Caswell claimed that the newly added languages are spoken by more than 614 million people, or about 8 percent of the global population.
