According to foreign science and technology media reports, with Google's I / O conference, Google disclosed a lot of rare product information. At Friday's event, Google's translation team revealed that it provides a billion machine translation services a day. More than a year's text scale of professional translation teams all over the world!
Josh Estelle, who is in charge of front-end products and mobile technology in Google's translation team, disclosed several important information. He said Google Translate serves more than 200 million users around the world every day and translates a billion times a day.
92% of translation needs come from outside the United States, the person in charge said. According to reports, English used to be the core language of the Internet, but with the progress of browser technology, such as supporting right to left language text display, there are more and more non English web pages at present, and the cross language demand for Google translation is growing.
It is said that Google translation covers 71 languages. At the beginning of the product launch, Google translation only supported the translation between a few languages, but since 2008, Google has supported the machine translation between any languages.
Josh Estelle says Google Translate processes the equivalent of a million books a day.
