Microsoft Translation team\u2019s ongoing mission to break down language barriers continues with the addition of five languages of India: Marathi, Gujarati, Punjabi, Malayalam and Kannada. These five languages are widely used in different regions of India and around the world by a large Indian diaspora.<\/p>\n

The Microsoft Translator team continuously improves translation quality based on technology advancements and usage signals. Neural machine translation technology has recently achieved impressive quality gains, characterized by highly fluent and accurate output. Using multilingual neural machine learning, the Translator team has leveraged data from languages belonging to the same family to build and refine these models and greatly enhance their quality. With this release, Microsoft Translator now translates ten languages of the Indian subcontinent covering 90% of commonly used languages in India.<\/p>\n

These languages are available now on all Microsoft Translator\u00a0apps<\/a>, add-ins<\/a>, Bing Translator<\/a>, Microsoft Office<\/a> and through the\u00a0Azure Cognitive Services Translator API\u00a0<\/a>for businesses and developers.
