Meta has introduced a program that translates 200 languages. The Facebook group also wants to integrate the system into its Metaverse. To them, Meta AI Translator is the real deal that will make communication efficient.
Everyone can understand everyone, language barriers no longer exist: That is the goal of Meta, the group behind Facebook. To achieve this goal, the company has developed a translation system that can translate 200 languages. Now the program has been presented.
“We’re calling this project No Language Left Behind,” Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg wrote in a Facebook post. The system uses artificial intelligence to create “high-quality translations for languages” that billions of people worldwide speak.
Mark Zuckerberg AI Facebook Post about Meta AI Translator
In his post, Zuckerberg immediately gives an idea of what his company wants to use the translator for: It improves everything, “from displaying the most interesting content on Facebook and Instagram to recommending more relevant ads to the security of our services”.
The meta AI translator should also go to the Metaverse
In which services the company still wants to build its translation tool should come as no surprise after the known plans and the renaming of the group to Meta: the Metaverse. This is a place that thrives on its users communicating with each other. One day, everyone there should be able to communicate with everyone else in any language, the group writes on its blog.
For the time being, the system will be made available to the staff of the online encyclopedia Wikipedia. It is intended to support the editors in translating the information into their native language. Among other things, they are said to be able to translate and edit articles from “underrepresented languages such as Luganda and Icelandic more efficiently”.
Susubiribi's love for things of technology and its ever-changing intricacies is what propels him to do what he does. If what he does will make even one person’s life better, he would rather stick to that, than become a burden to society.
