Zero-shot translation

Zero-shot translation is a way for machines to translate between languages they haven’t been directly trained on. It uses patterns and knowledge from previously learned languages to make educated guesses. This approach helps expand translation capabilities, especially for languages with limited data.

This method is commonly used in modern machine translation systems built by companies like OpenAI and Google. It allows for translation between low-resource languages or new language pairs without requiring extensive training data.

Zero-shot translation opens new possibilities for breaking language barriers, especially for underrepresented languages. Although it can be useful, accuracy may vary depending on the complexity of the languages involved.
