What does complementary mean? edit

What does complementary mean in "Google Translate is a complementary translation service developed by Google in April 2006."?Italic S C Cheese (talk) 08:23, 14 August 2022 (UTC)Reply

I'm going to assume it means full-featured. Open to better wording, since I don't think it's in the source (could be wrong). InfiniteNexus (talk) 19:02, 14 August 2022 (UTC)Reply

I've changed it to "web-based free-to-user". S C Cheese (talk) 11:53, 21 August 2022 (UTC)Reply

There is an RfC at WP:RSN on reliability of 9to5Google as a source.[1] Only 3 opinions have been given in about 19 days. More would be appreciated. -- Yae4 (talk) 15:28, 27 December 2022 (UTC)Reply

Languages in development edit

Latest comment: 7 days ago10 comments7 people in discussion

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

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
