The AI Translator and Language Detector supports List of common primary language subtags.

The AI Translator and Language Detector is a powerful tools that enable web applications to understand and interact with users across different languages. They leverage machine learning models to provide two primary functions:

1. Language Detection: The AI Translator and Language Detector analyze a given text string and determine the language it's written in. This is crucial for applications that receive user input in various languages, allowing them to dynamically adjust content, offer targeted services, or prepare text for translation. They often return not just the detected language code (e.g., "en" for English, "fr" for French) but also a confidence level, indicating the certainty of the detection.

2. Text Translation: The AI Translator and Language Detector take text in one language and convert it into another. This can be used for a wide range of purposes, from localizing website content and user interfaces to facilitating real-time communication in chat applications. Many modern APIs abstract away the complexities of the underlying machine learning, providing a simple interface to perform translations.

Steps to Use the AI Translator and Language Detector and its AI Model in Chrome:

1. Ensure You Have the Right Chrome Version:

• The AI Translator and Language Detector is available starting from Chrome 138 (desktop only).

• How to check your Chrome version:

  1. Open Chrome.

  2. Click the three vertical dots (menu icon) in the top-right corner.

  3. Go to "Help" > "About Google Chrome."

  4. Chrome will display your current version and automatically check for updates.

2. Meet the System Requirements:

• Since the AI model runs on-device, your computer needs to meet certain specifications:

  • Operating System: Windows 10 or 11; macOS 13+ (Ventura and onwards); or Linux.

  • Storage: At least 22 GB free disk space on the volume containing your Chrome profile. (The model itself is a few gigabytes, but Chrome requires this much free space for its operations).

  • GPU: Strictly more than 4 GB of VRAM.

  • Network: An unmetered connection (Wi-Fi or Ethernet are typically unmetered, cellular connections might be metered).

• Important Note: If your system doesn't meet these requirements, the API might silently fail or not provide any output.
