The system can do real-time speech-to-speech translation in 101 languages
Universal translators in science fiction, such as the Babel fish in The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, have long offered the dream of instantaneous translation from one spoken language to another. Now, in what may be a key step toward making this fantasy a reality, scientists at Facebook’s parent company Meta have developed an AI system that can instantly translate speech and text, including direct speech-to-speech translations, for up to 101 languages.
