Google is the most popular search engine in the world. If we want to know something, Google is the answer. Google opens up the whole world of the Internet to us for free.
The Google history started when two students of Stanford University (California), Larry Page and Sergey Brin, met in 1995. They had a common vision of a system which could make it accessible to anyone to gain information in seconds in easy-to-use way. At the time Internet search engines were slow and gave a lot of useless websites.
In 1996 the young scientists Page and Brin laid the foundation for a new search engine. They thought the results should be based on the popularity of each website – the most relevant ones had the highest number of links to other web pages. The domain google.com was registered on September 15, 1997, and the company was incorporated as Google.Inc.
Google’s corporate mission doesn’t sound modest: “To organize the information around the world and make it universally accessible and usable.” Its unofficial slogan is “Don’t be evil.” The company hopes that in the future all the world’s information will be stored on the Internet, so that everybody can find everything. With such innovations as map search, Gmail, YouTube, translation service, image search and others, Google is becoming the most important player on the Internet, fast, easy and accurate.
The online translator from Google has been replenished with 110 new languages, according to a blog post by the American corporation.
The update was the largest in the history of the translator, the developers noted. The platform now supports 243 languages.
In particular, Cantonese Chinese, Creole languages, Indo-Aryan Awadhi and Marwadi, as well as Tibetan, Northern Sami, Breton and others became available for translation. 13 of the languages added to the service are spoken in Russia: these are Avar, Bashkir, Buryat, Chechen, Chuvash, Ossetian, Udmurt, Chukchi, Tuvan, Yakut, Crimean Tatar, Komi and Meadow Mari languages.

All languages are already available to users on the main page of the service.

The system was trained using artificial intelligence - a large language model PaLM, Google explained. The model performed best with closely related languages, such as “Hindi-related languages such as Awadhi and Marwadi, as well as French creole languages such as Seychellois Creole and Mauritian Creole,” the company said.
Google launched its own translator in 2006. By 2016, it was used daily by more than 500 million people around the world.
