Exactly one year ago, Microsoft Translator made a new AI-powered technology available to everyone: neural machine translation (NMT) <\/a>. Since then, the team has been working hard to expand the use of NMT to improve translations in the Microsoft Translator Text and Speech APIs, as well as in all of Microsoft Translator\u2019s supported products.<\/p>\n Today, the Microsoft Translator team is announcing several developments in NMT technology, making advanced AI translations more accessible, no matter how you use them:<\/p>\n NMT technology has transformed machine translation, providing major advances in translation quality over the existing industry-standard statistical machine translation (SMT) technology. NMT better captures the context of full sentences before translating them, providing much higher quality translation and more human-sounding output. Learn more about how NMT works<\/a> on the Microsoft Translator website, and watch the video below to see how NMT is integrated into Microsoft Translator’s speech translation.<\/p>\n You can try out the new NMT powered translation today in Translator for Bing<\/a>, the Microsoft Translator apps<\/a>, Edge<\/a>, the Translator PowerPoint add in<\/a>, and of course, the Microsoft Translator Text<\/a> and Speech<\/a> APIs.<\/p>\n Microsoft Translator adds 10 new languages to its list of NMT systems\u2014now at 21 languages and growing! NMT now powers translations in the following languages (new languages in bold<\/b>)<\/b>.<\/p>\n\n
