Google has made an interesting update to its Assistant. Showcased in this week’s CES (Consumers Electronics Show) in Las Vegas, Google Assistant will now have an interpreter mode, reports India Today.
Now Google Assistant can translate 27 languages in real time, turning into an interpreter between two people speaking different languages in the same physical place.
The update, which caused rumblings in the hospitality industry, include popular languages like Greek, Spanish, Dutch, Chinese, Arabic, Hindi, Indonesian, Korean, Finnish, English, Thai, Portuguese, Japanese, Italian, Hungarian, Swedish, etc
This can help the user check in a foreign hotel, understand a bus schedule, etc. Though far from perfect, the technology has the potential to remove barriers in hospitality, business, work, etc.
Another primary sector that can be impacted is education, since its a cost-effective tool for students studying abroad. Even those who study online can translate their study materials into languages they are comfortable in.
Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
