Google Translate has indeed come a long way. The service which began with support for just 2 languages, ten years ago now supports 103 languages and is used today by hundreds of millions of people worldwide every day.Google is translating more than 100 billion words a day
More than just an app, Google’s Translate service helps connect communities and bridge barriers during tough times like what was witnessed and explored recently by Google during the migration crisis.
Another interesting fact is that more than 500 million people use Translate, and the most common translations are between English and Spanish, Arabic, Russian, Portuguese and Indonesian. All-in-all, Google translates an astounding 100 billion words on a normal day.
And when it comes to languages there is indeed no other country that comes to mind other than India. And Google has indeed done its part by supporting 22 Indian languages. Visual translation from English to Hindi was added in July 2015. Sindhi was added to the mix earlier this year. Google made it possible to do a bilingual conversation on Translate.
