Google Translate has expanded its language support to include 110 new languages, representing over 614 million speakers.

The expansion covers around 8% of the world's population.

The update is powered by the PaLM 2 AI language model and includes both major world languages and languages spoken by small communities and Indigenous people.

A quarter of the new languages come from Africa, including Fon, Kikongo, Luo, Ga, Swati, Venda, and Wolof.

In 2022, Google added 24 new languages using zero-shot machine translation.

Google is committed to supporting the 1,000 most spoken languages worldwide.

Google has also made advancements in AI integration beyond Translate, including developments in chatbots and AI-powered features for Chromebooks.

Despite some translation inaccuracies, Google remains dedicated to expanding language support to reach a wider global audience.
