Crimean Tatar language is now available in Google translation service

The Crimean Tatar language has been added to Google's translation service.

This is stated in the official announcement of the company.

The post says that Google has expanded the list of languages on its translation service. It is noted that the Crimean Tatar language is among 110 new languages that have been added to the translator.

The company said in a statement that the update was due to the introduction of a large language model - PaLM 2 artificial intelligence. It also said that in 2022, 24 new languages were added to the service through the Zero-Shot Machine Translation model.

"We have also announced the 1000 Languages initiative, which involves the creation of artificial intelligence models that will support the world's 1000 most common languages. Today, we are using artificial intelligence to expand the variety of languages we support. With our PaLM 2 large language model, we're starting to add 110 new languages to Google Translate, the largest expansion ever," the company's press service said in a statement.

Google noted that Crimean Tatar is one of the languages that, according to UNESCO's classification, require additional protection.

The company's press service also said that it continues to work with linguistic experts and native speakers to add more languages and spelling rules to the translation service over time. Thus, the service will continue to expand.

Earlier it was reported that on June 26, Ukraine annually celebrates the Day of the Crimean Tatar Flag. In 2014, the Crimean Tatar flag became a symbol of invincibility and the struggle for rights and freedom for many people around the world. And after February 24, 2022, the flag of the Crimean Tatars, along with the flag of Ukraine, has been flying even more powerfully in the hottest spots of hostilities.
