Facebook's New AI Could Lead to Translations That Actually Make Sense

When a language you don't understand appears in your Facebook News Feed, you can touch a button and quickly translate it. Facebook offers a way of communicating not just with the millions of people who speak your language, but with millions of others who speak something else. Or at least, it almost does. Like so many other online translation services, Facebook comes with a caveat: Its translations don't always make sense. But like several other giants of the internet, Facebook is working to eliminate that rather significant caveat.
