There are over 7,000 languages in the world! ๐ How can we talk to someone who speaks a different language? AI can help! Today we learn about Translation AI!
Imagine you meet a new friend from another country...
"Hello!"
"Bonjour!"
"ยกHola!"
How do we understand each other? ๐คท
AI to the rescue! ๐ฆธ
It's an AI tool that changes words from one language to another language! Like magic! โจ
You might think AI learns like you learn in school... but it's different! AI learns by looking at MILLIONS of examples!
AI needs to see the SAME text in DIFFERENT languages. Where does it find these?
United Nations translates everything into many languages!
Same news in different languages!
Books translated into many languages!
Websites in multiple languages!
Same movie, different subtitle languages!
Official documents in many languages!
After reading millions of documents, AI notices patterns. Let's see an example:
AI learns: "The" in English usually means "El" or "La" in Spanish! ๐ก
We're going to translate simple phrases!
Let's translate these English phrases:
1๏ธโฃ "Hello"
2๏ธโฃ "Thank you"
3๏ธโฃ "How are you?"
(Teacher: Use Google Translate to show these translations into Arabic, French, or Spanish!)
"Hello"
"Thank you"
"How are you?"
"ู ุฑุญุจุง"
"ุดูุฑุงู"
"ููู ุญุงููุ"
"Hola"
"Gracias"
"ยฟCรณmo estรกs?"
Same meaning, different words! AI understands the pattern! ๐ฏ
Did you know? You can use your phone camera to translate text you see!
Two AI Powers Working Together:
AI Vision (to see text) + AI Translation (to translate)! ๐ค๐ค
NO! AI makes mistakes! ๐
Languages are tricky! The same words can mean different things. Let's see some funny examples:
English: "It's raining cats and dogs!"
AI Translates Literally: "Cats and dogs are falling from sky!" ๐ฑ๐ถโ
(It just means "raining heavily!")
English: "Break a leg!" (Good luck!)
AI Might Think: "Hurt your leg!" ๐ฆต๐
(It's an expression for good luck!)
Special phrases that don't translate word-by-word
Same word can mean different things!
Different cultures say things differently
AI hasn't learned all new slang yet
Every language has different rules
Hard to translate feelings and tone
But AI is getting better EVERY DAY! The more it learns, the smarter it gets! ๐
Let's translate YOUR name and a simple phrase!
Read menus, signs, and ask for directions!
Learn new languages faster!
Talk to clients from other countries!
Help patients who speak different languages!
Talk to relatives in other countries!
Play with friends around the world!
Before AI Translation:
People couldn't talk if they spoke different languages ๐
With AI Translation:
EVERYONE can communicate! ๐
AI brings the world closer together! ๐
Let's talk about what we learned today!
1๏ธโฃ Have you ever used Google Translate? When?
2๏ธโฃ What language would you like to learn? Why?
3๏ธโฃ How does AI make the world smaller?
4๏ธโฃ If you traveled to another country, how would translation AI help you?
5๏ธโฃ Do you think AI will get better at translating? How?
Remember: AI Translation helps people from different countries become friends! ๐ค
Language barriers are disappearing thanks to AI! ๐
