Google has just announced the implementation of neural machine translation technology (neural machine translation) to Google Translate for Greek.
In particular, the translation between English and Greek will be more accurate and syntactically more correct as we will now translate entire sentences instead of pieces - sentences. Of course this state-of-the-art technology uses machine learning.
For more information, read the following detailed Press Release.
The next time you use Google Translate, you may notice that the translation is more accurate and syntactically correct. This is because the words and sentences you translate from English to Greek and vice versa, are utilized and exploited by cutting-edge engineering of neural translation!
Neural machine translation is much more reliable than the old phrase-based system because it now translates whole sentences at a time, rather than parts of a sentence. (Of course, this whole process is based on artificial intelligence and the machine learning, which is explained in Research blog Google).
This leads to translations that are more accurate and closer to the way people express themselves, especially when the meaning of an entire proposal is transferred.
The new features in automatic Greek language translation are available on all platforms where Google Translate is located: on iOS, on Android applications, on translate.google.gr and through Google search.
It will also be available for automatic translation of pages into Chrome. Greek is now one of the languages upgraded by Google for which neural translation services are provided.
Google expresses its warm thanks to the thousands of Greeks who helped. Every contribution of users to the Community of Translation helps Google to improve.
