Microsoft Translator will now support two new Indian languages - Chhattisgarhi and Manipuri.
With the new additions, the translator will now support 20 official Indian languages: Assamese, Bengali, Bodo, Dogri, Gujarati, Hindi, Kannada, Kashmiri, Konkani, Maithili, Malayalam, Manipuri, Marathi, Nepali, Odia, Punjabi, Sindhi, Tamil, Telugu, and Urdu, and provide service to over 95 percent of the country’s population.
Rajiv Kumar, managing director, Microsoft India, underlined that the addition of the two languages will broaden the company’s reach and coverage of India’s linguistic and cultural diversity.
“We truly believe in the power of technology to empower every person on the planet, providing people and communities access to information and opportunities and creating a positive impact in their lives,” Kumar said.
“We strive to make a profound impact through our products, leveraging advanced AI technologies that foster social inclusion and collaboration without barriers, contributing to India’s inclusive economic growth,” he added.
Microsoft's commitment to democratizing technology extends beyond incorporating the new languages; it will enhance education, governance, communication, economic development, and cultural preservation with the help of its Azure AI Translator.
About 16 million people in the states of Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Odisha, and Chhattisgarh speak Chhattisgarhi. About 3 million people in Manipur, as well as some populations in Assam, Tripura, and select areas of Bangladesh and Myanmar, speak Manipuri.
Microsoft Translator uses deep neural networks for accurate, fluent translations, capturing language nuances and contexts. It also supports transliteration, allowing users to read and write in their preferred language.
