Facebook ditches Bing, 800M users now see its own AI text translations

Machine learning is accomplishing Facebook's mission of connecting the world across language barriers. Facebook is now serving 2 billion text translations per day. Facebook can translate across 40 languages in 1,800 directions, like French to English. And 800 million users, almost half of all Facebook users, see translations each month. That's all based on Facebook's own machine learning translation system.
