Google has announced that it is adding support for 110 languages including the Ga language from Ghana Google Translate, beginning from June 27, 2024.
This marks the largest-ever language expansion of Google translate.
The company said these new languages represent more than 614 million speakers, or about 8 percent of the world’s population. Some of these languages have over 100 million speakers while others are spoken by small communities of Indigenous people.
It also includes a few languages that have almost no native speakers but are witnessing active revitalisation efforts.
About a quarter of the new languages come from Africa including Fon, Kikongo, Luo, Ga, Swati, Venda and Wolof, the company said.
