Google AI and ML translation services are providing COVID-19 information in 350 languages

Google AI and ML translation services are helping health officials communicate with people in languages they understand to disseminate the COVID-19 information, and it means reaching 51 million migrants in at least 350 languages in the US alone.

San Francisco: The COVID-19 information ranges from how to keep people and their families safe, to financial, employment, or food resources.

However, organizations — from health departments to government agencies —are struggling to keep up with the high volume of rapidly-changing content and lack the resources to translate the COVID-19 related content into the needed languages.

Machine translation is an automated way to translate text or speech from one language to another.

"Although not intended to fully replace human translators, it can provide value when immediate translations are needed for a wide variety of languages," said Google.
