According to ECO, Google announced that it is implementing 110 new languages ​​in Google Translate, the technology company's translation tool, being the “biggest expansion ever”, and which includes Portuguese from Portugal.

By 2022, Google had added 24 new languages ​​using 'zero-shot' machine translation, where a machine learning model learns to translate into another language without ever seeing an example, and announced “the 1,000 Languages ​​Initiative, a commitment to build AI [artificial intelligence] models that will support the 1,000 most spoken languages ​​in the world,” Google recalls.

“Now, we’re using AI to expand the range of languages ​​we support,” and “thanks to our powerful PaLM 2 language model, we’re starting to roll out 110 new languages ​​to Google Translate, our biggest expansion ever, including Portuguese from Portugal,” he says in an online post. In other words, Google Translate will now distinguish between variants of Portuguese (Portugal and Brazil).
