Read the text below and answer the question:

1 Speech is one of the most important ways of communicating. It consists of far more that just

2 making noises. To talk and also to be understood by other people, we have to speak a language,

3 that is, we have to use combinations of sounds that everyone agrees stand for a particular

4 object or idea. Learning a language properly is very important. The basic vocabulary of English is not

5 very large, and only about 2,000 words are needed to speak it quite well. But the more words you

6 know, the more ideas you can express, and the more precise you can be about their exact meaning.

7 Words are the main thing we use in communicating what we want to say. The way we say the

8 words is also very important. Our tone of voice can express many emotions and shows whether we

9 are pleased or angry, for instance.

In 2020, five new languages were added to Google Translate by using the same technology that has been used for translating less common languages in 2022.


     Global tech giant Google has added 24 new languages spoken by more than 300 million people to its Google Translate platform. “For years, Google Translate has helped break down language barriers and connect communities all over the world,” the US-based company said. It added that it now wants to help those whose languages aren’t represented in most technology. The new languages range from Bhojpuri, which is spoken in northern India, Nepal and Fiji, to Dhivehi, with its estimated 300,000 speakers in the Maldives.
     The move now brings to 133 the total number of languages available on Google Translate as of May 2022. The company says the new languages also represent a technical milestone, explaining that they use a machine learning model which learns to translate into another language without ever seeing an example. This can be useful for languages where large datasets of human translations, which can be used to train a computer, are not available. But the company admits that the technology isn’t perfect.
      So, will the translations be accurate? Some polyglots have noted problems with the languages already available. “For many supported languages, the translation is not great. It will definitely get the idea across but often it will lose much of the subtlety of the language,” Google Translate research scientist Isaac Caswell told the BBC.
      With the new languages, he said, it would be no different. But the people who helped in the research said it was a good place to start. “My impression from other people I have talked to was that it was a very positive thing for them,” Mr Caswell said. In 2020, Google Translate added five new languages to the platform in what was then its first expansion in the past few years.
