Google Assistant’s interpreter mode translates 27 languages

But does it speak mafia

Just letting you know that Google.Translate works via the interlingua – English. And as you can see it doesn’t work perfectly translating from/into English here, so I guess you can imagine how bad it is when there are two languages that are not English. It’s also funny when we have to translate from two similar languages like in the pair Russian-Ukrainian the translation turns up to be hilarious though there’s no reasons for that (like wtf?). That’s because English is not the perfect interlingua – there’s no one actually But English is way too simple to consider important grammatical details of other languages.

I don't like sand. It's coarse, and rough, and irritating, and it gets everywhere

"I love sand in my food"

Painful

well i mean, languages like Mandarin are gonna be harder to translate anyways, this shows a lot of potential

all great till 1 word from it offends someone wars have been started for such things

I don't like sand

I speak native Mandarin and I interpret the word as “sand” not shrimp too…

Google seni tercüman mı sikti niye mesleğimi almaya çalışıyon sal bi beni

this could be great if they continue to tweak it in the next 10 years

Doesn't seem fair to test it on a language that machine translation has always had difficulty with.

My expectations are so low for Google Translate at this point, they're marketing team seem to get everyone's hopes up every year.

It is not doing well with Mandarin accents.

I wonder if the interpreter does the Minions?

it is horrible !

Google Translate, for all intents and purposes, is absolutely terrible. It really shouldn't exist, at least in this form.

She ain't as fast as the chick who books appointments for you.

The translator is terrible. 40% complete. People are rushing in public area. So loud outside

So, still doesn't work 😀

i don't get it, google translate already has a conversation mode

She's gonna eat shrimp for sure

shrimp is "xia", "xia zi" is not a common saying. What google heard was "sha zi", which is sand in english.

I think the assistant should provide instructions in both languages in advance, like telling to wait for the tone before speaking. In its current state, I don't think two people would be able to communicate anything meaningful and would give up. I wish they would have shown the English to Mandarin translation as well so we could know how well it was translating to Mandarin.

I hope Esperanto is added in less than 5 years.

I want to have sex with you.

The mistake with sand shows that the technology doesn't have the high ground yet, but we shouldn't underestimate its power

Should've used an easier language lol. Like spanish to English. I bet Google has that down 100%

Mandarin must be difficult as hell

We already had this in google translate. It has been there for years….

i love sand in my food

Google just took his job she can do that on her phone she asked for food and directions google maps yelp

I wonder why Google is rolling this out to home hubs/smart speakers first. How often do we have people in our homes that do not share our language? It would make more sense to roll the interpreter mode on mobile phones as that's what we take with us when we go out in the world.

I think her English is better than her mandarin and some of her mandarins can be confusing to even native speakers…I think the underlying model is trained with a more native mandarin tongue 😉

Her mandarin is pretty bad, she indeed said 沙 (shā – sand) instead of 蝦 (xiā – shrimp), so it isn’t google translate’s fault. Why couldn’t they find someone native at mandarin?

So right now its just basically google translate in a tablet. Hopes it gets better in time and more languages added.
