Google said it still has a way to go to be more comprehensive. There are 7,000 languages worldwide that Translate doesn't provide support .
Translate needs to analyze a large range linguistic data to be able to support a language. Isaac Caswell, a Google Translate scientist, told journalists how advances technology have facilitated adding the new languages. He said: " until a couple years ago, it simply was not technologically possible to add languages these, which are what we call a low resource - meaning that there are not very many text resources there for them." He explained that Google aspires to support languages used large populations. One these is Lingala, spoken by 45 million people across Central Africa. It also wants to render assistance indigenous languages that are often overlooked by technology.
