Google Translate now uses Neural Machine Translation for eight languages

Vlad 15 November 2016

Google Online services

Google Translate is ten years old, now supporting 103 languages. Yet with the new feature that Google is announcing today, Translate is apparently improving more in a single leap than in the last ten years combined.

It's called Neural Machine Translation (NMT), and initially it will be working for eight languages: English, French, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and Turkish. These are the native languages of about a third of the human population, and they cover more than 35% of Google Translate queries.

Every time you translate something from one of these languages to another you'll be using NMT. This new system translates sentences at a time, taking into account the intended meaning as a whole, the broader context. This results in much more human-feeling translations than the old system which went through text piece by piece. Grammar should be vastly improved with NMT, with translated paragraphs being a lot smoother and easier to read than before. The system will even learn over time to create better translations.

Eventually, NMT will be available for all of the languages that Google Translate supports, but there's no timeline to speak of for a rollout, so we assume this is not something that will happen anytime soon. The NMT functionality for the aforementioned eight languages will be available in Google search, on the Google Translate website, as well as in the Google Translate mobile apps.
