One of the most widely spoken Indigenous languages in this country is now available through Google's translation service, the first time the tech giant has included a First Nations, Metis or Inuit language spoken in Canada on its platform.
A stop sign in English, French and Inuktut syllabics is seen in Iqaluit, on April 25, 2015. One of the most widely spoken Indigenous languages in this country is now available through Google's translation service, the first time the tech giant has included a First Nations, Métis or Inuit language spoken in Canada on its platform.
"Inuktut really stands out in that it has a lot of clean and a lot of well written data, because, I think, the community is increasingly online." "If we hadn't had their help, we would have just been able to launch in syllabics, which undermines some of their current work," said Caswell."This is another way in which to make our language relevant, easily accessible and for those who don't know it at all, to be able to interact with it," Natan Obed, president of Inuit Tapiriit Kanatami, said in an interview.
Users will have the ability to translate written Inuktut to English and vice versa through Google Translate. Other options, including the verbal translation tool, may come at a later time, said Caswell. Federal cabinet ministers Filomena Tassi, Carla Qualtrough and Dan Vandal announced Thursday they will not run for re-election. Senior government sources tell CTV News at least one other, Marie-Claude Bibeau, doesn't plan to run again, setting the stage for Justin Trudeau to shuffle his cabinet in the coming weeks.
