Microsoft Translator now helps 129 languages
Today, we’re introducing a brand new language to the ever-growing checklist of Translator languages – welcome Lower Sorbian!
Adding Lower Sorbian to Translator was made attainable by the Sorbian language neighborhood, particularly the Foundation for the Sorbian People, the Sorbian Institute and the Witaj Language Centre which donated knowledge to create the brand new language system, following up on our collaboration to construct language help for Upper Sorbian final yr.
Beate Brězan, Head of the WITAJ Language Centre, states that “the addition of Lower Sorbian to Microsoft Translator is a valuable contribution to the preservation of our cultural identity. The ability to translate between Sorbian and more than 100 languages enables our speech community to write in our own language and be understood by others, and vice-versa.”
Bernd Melcher, Head of the WITAJ Department in Lower Lusatia, highlights the optimistic affect of the language’s integration into Translator: “Now we can create much-needed textbooks, study materials, and other publications at a larger scale. And our students can use their mobile devices for quick look-up of words and even save the translations – very motivating!”
