Google Translate is getting 10 new languages in its latest update. Support for the 10 new languages is now live on the Google Translate web portal, and Google says that support will reach mobile apps shortly.
The latest addition of 10 new languages brings the total number of languages supported by Google to 90. Google says that the addition of these new languages will allow 200 million more users to translate text to and from their native languages. Google Translate’s latest addition of 10 language include Chichewa (Malawi), Malagasy(Madagascar), Sesotho (South Africa), Malayalam (India), Myanmar (Burmese), Sinhala (Sri Lanka), Sudanese (Basa Sunda), Kazakh (Kazakhstan), Tajik (Tajikistan) and Uzbe (Uzbekistan).
Google has indicated that for now, the new languages are supported by the Google Translate website, however in the coming weeks will be available on both the mobile application and Chrome’s built-in translation feature. Google Translate’s next update is expected to have WordLens integration and a auto detection for conversation mode. The company acquired WordLens in May to boost Translate. Last month, Google launched Indian Language Internet Alliance (ILIA), a group formed to promote growth of Indic-language content online.
