Google aims to help researchers, startups better understand Indian languages

Search giant Google is getting smarter at understanding Indian languages and it is now aiming to help researchers, students, and startups keen on building local language technologies with a common framework across several languages in the country.

On Thursday, Google unveiled a new multilingual language model that aims to specifically address concerns around Indian language understanding of computer systems, including all of its complexities like transliteration, spelling variations, mixed languages and other specific use cases that emerge in the Indian context. It also supports transliterated text such as writing Hindi using Roman script.
