Google Launches New AI Tools in Afrikaans, Xhosa, and Zulu
Google South Africa has introduced an "AI glossary" to standardize 100 terms in Zulu, Xhosa, and Afrikaans, in partnership with the Pan South African Language Board (PanSALB).
For many people, especially non-English speaking people, those conversations [around technology] can feel somewhat distant, somewhat removed and simply out of reach … because the language of technology hasn’t really caught up with the richness of our local languages and our local dialects…
According to Google South Africa country director Kabelo Makwane, the glossary marks a critical step towards linguistic inclusion and digital empowerment, enabling African users to participate fully in their native languages and engage with the global AI conversation.
