Google Translate will soon be able to provide better suggestions for words with numerous meanings

In the coming weeks, Google Translate will receive an AI-powered enhancement to help users obtain more accurate translations, particularly for terms with numerous definitions. The app will provide more contextual translation alternatives, including descriptions and examples.

Assume you’re seeking for a translation of the English term “row,” which has several connotations. It might refer to a debate, a row of seats on a plane, or the use of an oar to drive a boat. Google Translate should soon include translations for all of those versions, along with examples of how they’re utilised.

The software will give “the context you need to correctly translate and employ the relevant turns of phrase, local idioms, or acceptable terms based on your goal,” according to Google. If everything goes as planned, this should help you communicate more clearly in other languages. Starting this month, enhanced contextual translations will be provided for languages such as English, French, German, Japanese, and Spanish, with more likely to come.

Meanwhile, the business just redesigned Translate for Android. It will be available shortly on the iOS app. The updated app includes extra motions that should make it easier to use, such as faster access to language choices and the ability to swipe to bring up recent translations. Google claims that translations are now more readable, and that an additional 33 languages, including Basque, Hawaiian, Hmong, Kurdish, Sundanese, Yiddish, and Zulu, are now accessible for on-device translation.
