Meta, the parent company that owns Facebook, WhatsApp and Instagram, has begun work on a global translator software under artificial intelligence that will be able to translate between major languages as well as all smaller languages.
According to Meta, every translator in the world will be able to use this translator for their own language. It will revolutionize every sector of the world, including the economy and education, which has long been needed.
The plan was announced by Mark Zuckerberg at a high-level meeting of META. It was stated in the meeting that although English, Chinese and Spanish are the major languages of the world, but 20 to 30 percent of the people do not speak or understand these three languages.
That is why the need for a universal translator was felt. But on the other hand, Meta itself is making extensive use of Artificial Intelligence or AI in its 3D virtual environment Horizon and other applications. Now, thanks to AI, the company will accelerate this work by offering a global translator platform called ‘Universal Speech Translator’.
But Meta has further expanded the scope of this work by announcing that in no way will any of the world’s major languages be ignored. That is why different translation models will be made for different languages and training will be provided to them thanks to AI. Second, the Universal Speech Translator will be enabled to be used directly from one language to another. It should be noted that before this, most of the things said in the translator apps are converted into the first text and the same text is read and converted into another language. But now, thanks to Universal Translator, the spoken language will be instantly converted to another language.
However, Meta has not given a final date.
