Facebook is using AI to make its translations more accurate

Facebook announced on Thursday it is improving its 4.5 billion daily translations with an artificial intelligence powered system. The social media giant supports over 45 languages for its two billion users worldwide, which makes translating content common on the platform. To do so, one simply clicks on the "see translation" button below a post or a comment. But despite how easy the process is... one may not be always satisfied with the accuracy of the translation. The previous system linked to the button, according to Facebook, is phrase-based and translates words or short phrases one at a time, missing the grammar and word orders.
