Just read this latest blog by Facebook AI Research: Expanding automatic machine translation to more languages. Facebook claims it added 24 more languages to their automated translation service. “We are now serving translations for a total of 4,504 language directions (a pair of languages between which we offer translation, e.g., English to Spanish).”
This is just report about many other reports published in the last two years or so describing major advances in neural machine translation.
Breaking Down The Language Barrier Fast
No doubt, this has the potential to bring more peace on earth. Misunderstandings will become rarer.
Will most humans soon be able to easily talk to each other no matter what language they grew up with or what languages they have learnt?
Will finally literature written in uncommon languages become more accessible?
Ideas and news will travel faster and wider irrespective of language!
