Microsoft Translator adds Assamese, strengthens support for 12 Indian languages
September 30, 2020 | Microsoft News Center India
Aims to fill the gap in end-to-end language support for Assamese in India
New Delhi, September 30, 2020: Today, Microsoft India has announced the
addition of Assamese as the latest Indian language in Microsoft Translator. The
Azure-based service will now provide real-time translation and transliteration
support for the language. Powered by Azure Cognitive Service Speech, users will
also be able to translate speech into Assamese text or to translate Assamese
text into another language with speech output.
Microsoft is currently the only cloud service provider to support Assamese
translation. Strengthening its position in democratizing the access of
information in the native languages, Microsoft has taken the lead in providing
end-to-end communication support for Assamese overcoming the complexities in
Machine Learning models used to develop the communication functionalities...
With this latest addition, Microsoft now supports 12 Indian languages viz..,
Assamese, Bengali, Gujarati, Hindi, Kannada, Malayalam, Marathi, Odia, Punjabi,
Tamil, Telugu, and Urdu.
Assamese–besides being the official language of the state of Assam–is spoken by
more than 14 million people across India’s north eastern states. With its
inclusion, Microsoft Translator will now allow over 90% of Indians to access
information and work in their native/preferred languages, making computing
language-agnostic and more inclusive in the country. It can help general users
interpret real-time conversations, menus and street signs, websites, and
documents. Companies can leverage it to globalize their business and strengthen
customer outreach. Microsoft Translator can be availed across Windows, iOS,
Android, and the web.
Sundar Srinivasan – General Manager – AI & Search – Microsoft India, said, “At
Microsoft, our mission is to empower every person and every organization to
achieve more. Microsoft has a responsible approach to AI, a key principle of
which is inclusiveness. Breaking language barriers is a key step in enabling
inclusion of more people and organizations to utilize technology to achieve
more. As part of our mission to remove language barriers, particularly in
India, we are happy to announce the release of translation for Assamese to add
to the set of 11 Indian languages already supported.”
The service is available on Microsoft Translator app, add-ins, Office 365, Bing
Translator, and through the Azure Cognitive Services Translator API for
businesses and developers. Users can translate Assamese text, supported by more
than 70 languages, for their apps, websites, workflows and tools with Azure
Cognitive Services Translator. Businesses can also avail multi-language support
such as translation for e-content, e-commerce product catalogues, product
documentation and internal communication, among others.
Bringing Deep Neural Networks to language translation
Microsoft has been using Deep Neural Networks to develop language models for
translating and transliterating complex Indian languages. Deep Neural Networks
can even manage minute language nuances like gender (feminine, masculine,
neutral), politeness level (slang, casual, written, formal), and type of words
(verb, noun, adjective). Microsoft continuously improves the translation models
in line with tech advancement and usage, and releases newer and improved
versions to all its users in a transparent manner. You can learn more about

Microsoft and Local Language computing: Since the launch of Project Bhasha in
1998, Microsoft has been pioneering local language computing in Indian
languages for over two decades. This has enabled users to input localized text
easily and quickly using the Indian Language Input tool. Microsoft also
supports email addresses in multiple Indian languages across most of its email
apps and services. Through its global Local Language Program (LLP), Microsoft
provides people access to technology in their native language.
