I didn't realize portuguese (portugal) wasn't a thing yet
Or Cantonese!
I was wondering if they would ever add it just this week, it's a welcome addition
I just ranted about it not supporting Cantonese the other day
耶~~~!
Is the accuracy as high as with other aspect of AI, e.g. LLMs answering with 90% correctness?
If only some of the newly added translations was not garbage, adding local dialects that differs by location is useless, it's more like a gimmick. It just makes it harder pick language as you need to scroll over all of those useless ones...
It's probabably just a PR stunt.
@kolorafa@lemmy.world Eh, probably still better than siting with dictionary tring to translate word by word, no? Especially if you don't know the language For some of these languages there was no machine translation before that at all
all of those useless ones
No language is useless, please don't say that, some are just smaller
