Google Translate marks 20 years, becoming a service used by 1 billion people; new feature is "pronunciation practice"

Google Translate marks its 20th anniversary with a new AI-powered pronunciation practice feature.

The feature analyzes users’ speech and gives feedback to help them improve their pronunciation.

It is rolling out first on Android in the U.S. and India, with support for English, Spanish, and Hindi.

The update expands Google Translate’s role from translation tool to language-learning assistant for its 1B+ monthly users.
