We would like to thank our community partners for their support in development of translation systems for the following languages: Hmong, Kiswahili, Latvian, Queretaro Otomi, Urdu, Welsh, Yucatec Maya, and Klingon. Click here to learn more about our community partners.
We add new languages periodically. In the process of adding a new language to Microsoft Translator, the most important learning material is existing high-quality translations—the same text in two languages. A significant amount, typically 1+ million words of text, is needed to build a reasonable-quality machine translation system for a particular language pair. Find out how automatic translation works.
Skype offers free use of the Microsoft Translator Hub to users who have access to parallel documents, or to a community committed to adding a new language. Several languages, including Hmong and Welsh, have been added to the Microsoft Translator service by using the Hub. Watch the Microsoft Translator Hub and the Hmong community video.
