Google is testing a new tool that will erase all language barriers.
Google is testing an API that promises to take Chrome's built-in translation features to unprecedented heights. The development is led by the Chrome team specializing in artificial intelligence.
The main task of the new interface is to expand the capabilities of the built-in Chrome translator and simplify the process of translating web pages. Particular emphasis is placed on working with dynamic and complex content, which existing products do not always cope with successfully.
The company emphasizes that many sites are forced to use their own translation tools due to the limitations of browser solutions. This often leads to increased resource consumption and slowdowns. The new API aims to solve this problem by giving web developers access to Chrome's powerful built-in translator through a user-friendly JavaScript interface.
The main feature of the technology is the use of machine learning for real-time translations. The system will be able to process both existing page content and text entered by the user, for example, in chats or forums. If you don't see the language model you want in your browser, the API will automatically load it. This will greatly expand Chrome's language capabilities without the need to install bulky add-ons.
However, the developers admit that the test version is not without privacy concerns. There is a chance that sites will be able to identify users based on the list of supported languages and their availability status in the browser.
To solve this problem, it is proposed to combine language packs. This should reduce the amount of information by which the user can be identified. An option is also being considered in which the list of available languages will be limited depending on the user's location.
The tool will allow developers to choose where the translation will take place — on the user's device or in the cloud. Thanks to this, they will be able to protect confidential data from falling into the hands of strangers and reduce the risk of information leakage.
Although the exact timing of the introduction of the new feature in Chrome has not yet been determined, Google is actively discussing the idea with the open source community.
