The neural system translates whole sentences at a time, rather than piece by piece.Īccording to the search giant, the system uses broader context to help determine the most relevant translation, which it then rearranges and adjusts to sound more like a real person speaking with proper grammar. Now this technology is running offline, on your device, supporting 59 languages. This comes following the addition of neural machine translation two years ago that significantly improved the accuracy of Google’s online translations. Thanks to on-device artificial intelligence, the Google Translate app for iOS is now able to deliver high-quality translations even when you don’t have access to an Internet connection.
