Global tech giant Google has added 24 new languages
spoken by more than 300 million people to its Google Translate
platform. “For years, Google Translate has helped break down
language barriers and connect communities all over the world,”
the US-based company said. It added that it now wants to help
those whose languages aren’t represented in most technology.
The new languages range from Bhojpuri, which is spoken in
northern India, Nepal and Fiji, to Dhivehi, with its estimated
300,000 speakers in the Maldives.
The move now brings to 133 the total number of
languages available on Google Translate as of May 2022. The
company says the new languages also represent a technical
milestone, explaining that they use a machine learning model
which learns to translate into another language without ever
seeing an example. This can be useful for languages where large
datasets of human translations, which can be used to train a
computer, are not available. But the company admits that the
technology isn’t perfect.
So, will the translations be accurate? Some polyglots have
noted problems with the languages already available. “For many
supported languages, the translation is not great. It will definitely
get the idea across but often it will lose much of the subtlety of
the language,” Google Translate research scientist Isaac Caswell
told the BBC.
With the new languages, he said, it would be no different.
But the people who helped in the research said it was a good
place to start. “My impression from other people I have talked to
was that it was a very positive thing for them,” Mr Caswell said.
In 2020, Google Translate added five new languages to the
platform in what was then its first expansion in the past few
years.

In 2020, five new languages were added to Google Translate

translating less common languages in 2022.

“English is the global language.” — a headline of this
kind must have appeared in a thousand newspapers and
magazines in recent years. “English Rules” is an actual example,
presenting to the world an uncomplicated scenario suggesting the
universality of the language’s spread and the likelihood of its
continuation. A statement prominently displayed in the body of
the associated article, memorable chiefly for its alliterative
ingenuity, reinforces the initial impression: “The British Empire
may be in full retreat with the handover of Hong Kong. But from
Bengal to Belize and Las Vegas to Lahore, the language of the
sceptered isle is rapidly becoming the first global lingua franca.”
Millennial retrospectives and prognostications continued in the
same vein, with several major newspapers and magazines finding
in the subject of the English language an apt symbol for the
themes of globalization, diversification, progress and identity
addressed in their special editions.
A language achieves a genuinely global status when it
develops a special role that is recognized in every country. To
achieve such a status, a language has to be taken up by other
countries around the world. They must decide to give it a special
place within their communities, even though they may have few
(or no) mother-tongue speakers.
Salman Rushdie comments that “the English language
ceased to be the sole possession of the English some time ago”.
Indeed, when even the largest English-speaking nation, the USA,
turns out to have only about 20 percent of the world’s English
speakers, it is plain that no one can now claim sole ownership.
This is probably the best way of defining a genuinely global
language, in fact: that its usage is not restricted by countries or by
governing bodies.
