Languages in development should be put back. It is important to know what languages will be coming through. 24.108.18.81 (talk) 04:29, 4 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

-- I think there should be no issue putting back the language in development. Based on this research paper(https://arxiv.org/pdf/2205.03983.pdf) and secondary sources (https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/tech/technology/google-building-a-1000-language-ai-model-to-beat-chatgpt/articleshow/98474049.cms). Rocky 734 (talk) 02:48, 11 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Star Garnet:, can you bring back the Languages in development section with modernistic tabular form :-) . Rocky 734 (talk) 03:03, 11 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

So sorry about that! I hadn't intended to delete that subsection; I even updated it before table-izing the main section. If anyone wants to suggest info that would be better-served by a table vs. a list, I'd be happy to convert it. (I don't think there's any RS way to source how long a language has been in development?) Star Garnet (talk) 03:17, 11 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry for the late reply, Thanks @Star Garnet for bringing back the Languages in development section.

>any RS way to source how long a language has been in development?

I don't know but shall try my best to find out the reliable source. I will update here, If I will get any. Rocky 734 (talk) 14:29, 13 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello 2600:1702:3380:AE00:3CE1:ECD2:6FD:AE81 (talk) 02:00, 19 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I. Love you 209.64.129.151 (talk) 19:29, 29 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I think this section should be removed now that Google has phased out the Contribute feature. We can no longer tell which languages are in development. Serchia (talk) 18:20, 16 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You're right, but we should at least wait for I/O (May 14), when Google generally announces new languages for Translate. Joseph (talk) 18:16, 17 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Is there evidence that it will annouce at May 14, 2024? 216.186.51.109 (talk) 16:06, 29 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah where is the evidence 134.204.2.226 (talk) 00:55, 14 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You lied to me! You didn't prove any evidence and there wasn't any new languages! 64.124.92.43 (talk) 03:33, 16 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I said "generally". Joseph (talk) 07:12, 16 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Google didnt announce anything this year. I guess we can delete this section since we dont have any reference. Joseph (talk) 07:11, 16 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

See, I told you need evidence! 216.186.51.108 (talk) 19:43, 16 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, they did announce the languages. It was on June 27, 2024. The evidence for this is here: https://blog.google/products/translate/google-translate-new-languages-2024/?utm_source=kw-newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=06262024&utm_content=cta Who is Amire80 (talk) 14:32, 28 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Those news reports either made a mistake or lied about that. Please do fix. 2A06:63C1:9904:E900:BC05:DF71:C6A0:937B (talk) 10:35, 6 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

There is also a possibility it might have been confused with Chuukese, which I forgot to acknowledge here. 2A06:63C1:9904:E900:BC05:DF71:C6A0:937B (talk) 10:37, 6 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

As Crimea is currently a disputed territory (even if de facto administered by Russia), I find it highly political to call Crimean Tatar a ”Russian language”. Would you agree to move Crimean Tatar ahead in the sentence?

(Even calling the other languages mentioned ”Russian languages” seems too political – it would be like calling Breton ”a French language.”) 37.96.27.196 (talk) 09:38, 18 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I've changed Russian to Russia. Joseph (talk) 15:37, 18 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. It’s better now. Still, given the dispute about Crimea (de facto Russia, de jure Ukraine, according to this Wikipedia), we cannot list Crimean Tatar as a language in Russia. Any suggestion for a re-wording? Otherwise, I’ll move it next to Tok Pisin. Wikipedia is not a political forum. :-) Telepanda (talk) 18:06, 19 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

With June 2024 update, languages spoken in autonomous Republics of Russian Federation were added. Tuvan, Yakut, Meadow Mari, Chuvash, Bashkir, Chechen, Ossetian, etc. Maybe, we can change the languages.

On the other hand, outside of Crimea, Crimean Tatar is spoken in Russia, Ukraine, Romania and Turkey. So, we can consider Crimean Tatar a regional language in Russia, since it is also spoken in pre-2014 borders of Russia. Joseph (talk) 18:49, 19 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Article reads as a marketing article and is somewhat ambiguous and deceptive, although I find it (Google translate) interesting. 2001:999:608:614F:ED73:DA08:2E7C:67D1 (talk) 15:01, 18 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
