Google announced today that it has added support for 110 new languages to Google Translate, nearly doubling the number of languages that can be translated.
The company used the PaLM 2 large language model to facilitate these additions.
In a blog post, Google Senior Software Engineer Isaac Caswell claimed that the newly added languages are spoken by more than 614 million people, or about 8 percent of the global population.
