Google said to be aware Sanskrit translations are not always accurate

Google Translate has undoubtedly been a game-changer in bridging language barriers across the globe. However, recent feedback regarding the accuracy of Sanskrit translations on the platform has raised some concerns. An individual shared their experience on the community forum, complaining that the Sanskrit translations on Google Translate are not always accurate.

In response to this, a product expert acknowledged the issue and said that Google is aware of the inaccuracies in Sanskrit translations. They explained that the challenges stem from Sanskrit being categorized as a low-resource language. Therefore, the data available for the language to help refine Google’s algorithms for accurate translations is limited.

Getting frustrated by the inaccurate translation, the user even asked Google to remove the Sanskrit from the translation option. However, instead of removal, the product expert advised users against solely relying on Google Translate for learning Sanskrit. Moreover, they emphasized the unreliability of the platform’s current accuracy levels for this particular language.

Despite the present hurdles, there is a glimmer of hope on the horizon. The product expert assured users that Google is working on enhancing the accuracy of translations for all languages, including Sanskrit.

So hopefully, we may see some improvements in the accuracy of Sanskrit translation in the future. And once that happens, users can rely on Google Translate as a resource for learning or translating this classical Indo-Aryan language. And in the meantime, we encourage our readers to be cautious when using Google Translate for Sanskrit until improvements are implemented.
