Google has just announced the implementation of neural machine translation technology in Google Translate for Greek.
Specifically, translation between English and Greek will now be more accurate and syntactically correct as entire sentences will now be translated, instead of fragments of sentences. Of course, this cutting-edge technology uses machine learning.
For more information, read the detailed Press Release below.
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 both benefiting from and being benefited by the cutting-edge technology of neural machine translation!
Neural machine translation is much more reliable than the old phrase-based system because it now translates entire sentences at a time, rather than just parts of a sentence. (Of course, this whole process relies on artificial intelligence and machine learning, which is explained on the Google Research blog .)
This leads to translations that are more accurate and closer to the way people express themselves, especially when conveying the meaning of an entire sentence.
The new features in automatic translation of the Greek language are available on all platforms where Google Translate is available: on iOS, in Android applications, on translate.google.gr and through Google search.
It will also be available for automatic page translation in Chrome. Greek is now one of the languages that have been upgraded by Google and for which neural machine translation services are provided.
Google would like to express its sincere thanks to the thousands of Greeks who helped. Every contribution from users in the Translation Community helps Google improve.
