Overview

Google Translate is a multilingual neural machine translation service developed by Google to translate text, documents and websites from one language into another. It offers a website interface, a mobile app for Android and iOS, as well as an API that helps developers build browser extensions and software applications. As of 2022, Google Translate supports languages at various levels; it claimed over 500 million total users , with more than 100 billion words translated daily, after the company stated in May 2013 that it served over 200 million people daily. Launched in April 2006 as a statistical machine translation service, it used United Nations and European Parliament documents and transcripts to gather linguistic data. Rather than translating languages directly, it first translates text to English and then pivots to the target language in most of the language combinations it posits in its grid, with a few exceptions including Catalan–Spanish. During a translation, it looks for patterns in millions of documents to help decide which words to choose and how to arrange them in the target language. Its accuracy, which has been criticized on several occasions, has been measured to vary greatly across languages. In November 2016, Google announced that Google Translate would switch to a neural machine translation engine – Google Neural Machine Translation (GNMT) – which translates "whole sentences at a time, rather than just piece by piece. It uses this broader context to help it figure out the most relevant translation, which it then rearranges and adjusts to be more like a human speaking with proper grammar". History Google Translate is a web-based free-to-user translation service developed by Google in April 2006. It translates multiple forms of texts and media such as words, phrases and webpages. Originally, Google Translate was released as a statistical machine translation service. The input text had to be translated into English first before being translated into the selected language. Since SMT uses predictive algorithms to translate text, it had poor grammatical accuracy. Despite this, Google initially did not hire experts to resolve this limitation due to the ever-evolving nature of language.

Notable quotes

“Google Analytics is a measurement product that helps businesses better understand their web and app performance. Any data in Google Analytics is obfuscated, meaning it is not tied back to an individual and our policies prohibit customers from sending us data that could be used to identify a user. Additionally, Google has strict policies against advertising to people based on sensitive information.”
— Google spokesperson in "Meta Has Been Lapping Up User’s Financial Info Sent Directly from Tax Filing Sites", by Kyle Barr, (November 22, 2022)
“We also have clear policies that prohibit videos promoting medically unsubstantiated methods to prevent the coronavirus in place of seeking medical treatment, and we quickly remove videos violating these policies when flagged to us.”
— YouTube spokesperson in "Youtube moves to limit spread of false coronavirus 5G theory", by Alex Hern, The Guardian, (April 5, 2020)
“We're agreed that child sexual imagery is a case apart, it's illegal everywhere in the world, there's a consensus on that. It's absolutely right that we identify this stuff, we remove it and we report it to the authorities.”
— Peter Barron quoted on BBC News, "Google and Microsoft agree steps to block abuse images", (November 18, 2013).
“Supporting Wikipedia is [...] a shrewd business decision that will likely benefit Google for years to come.”
— Louise Matsakis in “Google Gives Wikimedia Millions—Plus Machine Learning Tools”, Wired: Business, (22 January 2019)
“Google's vision of the future is pure atom-age 1960s Jetsons fantasy, bubble-dwelling spiritless sexists above a ruined earth.”
— Julian Assange quoting Eric Schmidt's The New Digital Age "Julian Assange Says "Apolitical Futurism of Star Trek" Fits Google", by Matt Novak, Gizmodo, (September 15, 2014)
“Google will make us more informed. The smartest person in the world could well be behind a plow in China or India. Providing universal access to information will allow such people to realize their full potential, providing benefits to the entire world.”
— Hal Varian "The structure of the Internet", a report from the Pew Internet & American Life Project.
