Microsoft India on Thursday said it has added two new Indian languages - Chhattisgarhi and Manipuri - in Microsoft translator.
With the latest move, Microsoft Translator now supports a total of 20 official Indian languages.
These include Assamese, Bengali, Bodo, Dogri, Gujarati, Hindi, Kannada, Kashmiri, Konkani, Maithili, Malayalam, Manipuri, Marathi, Nepali, Odia, Punjabi, Sindhi, Tamil, Telugu, and Urdu, as well as two other vernacular languages - Bhojpuri, and Chhattisgarhi, covering more than 95 per cent of the country's population.
"The expansion beyond official languages underscores Microsoft's dedication to democratising technology," according to a release.
Microsoft said inclusion of Chhattisgarhi and Manipuri is a testament to the company's commitment of supporting and empowering the linguistic diversity of India through its innovative language technologies and solutions.
