 11. Automatic Language Translation
• If we visit a new place and we are not aware of the language then it is
not a problem at all, as for this also machine learning helps us by
converting the text into our known languages.
• Google's GNMT (Google Neural Machine Translation) provide this feature,
which is a Neural Machine Learning that translates the text into our familiar
language, and it called as automatic translation.
• The technology behind the automatic translation is a sequence-to-sequence
learning algorithm, which is used with image recognition, and it translates the
text from one language to another language.
