Earlier this month Microsoft Translator added a few new languages to their Bing Translator tool and Dhivehi (spelled Divehi, ugh) was one of it! This is such a big milestone considering how niche Dhivehi is. The tool went viral on MvTwitter the past few days and is so much fun to just check what the AI does to whatever phrases you input. You can also play around with the tool HERE.
We now have more than 100 languages! Today we’ve added 12 new languages and dialects to @MSTranslator: Bashkir, Dhivehi, Georgian, Kyrgyz, Macedonian, Mongolian (Cyrillic), Mongolian (Traditional), Tatar, Tibetan, Turkmen, Uyghur, and Uzbek (Latin)! https://t.co/1HVg6rRI0Y

Ofcourse, I had to start off with some much loved TayTay song names and it was quite funny. Some of the source material seems to be religious books (perhaps a translation of the Quran, as a tweep mentioned) so it doesn't quite come as natural as it should.

Ofcourse, machine learning gets better as more data is fed and hopefully the tool would be quite useful and at this stage there might be a few hiccups here are there which are unfortunate. I'm particuarly invested because this will make #FearlessInDhivehi pretty easy for me!
