Who doesn’t know the famous Google Translate, Google’s universal translation tool available both on mobile and on the web? However, this technology has its shortcomings, since nowadays we refer to other software such as Deepl or Grammarly.  The mobile version seems to be more complete with features that are not available in the web version, such as text translation from images. Google has decided to correct this with an update

Google keeps improving its translation✅

It should be remembered that Google is working on even more important improvements for its translator. For example, in February, the firm announced a new feature designed to give the user more context, so that he or she does not make a mistake in the translation (a word or phrase can have many translations, depending on the context in which it is used).

And this is just the beginning. Google is planning to test other experiments based on artificial intelligence for its translation tool. The company is also developing a new approach that will allow it to offer machine translation to new languages. The aim is to support a total of 1,000 languages. And to achieve this, Google is using a new AI.
