Yandex Translator now has a chat with Alice to help you learn English
By ForGeeks Yandex has added a chat feature with neural network Alice to its Translator service. Now users can ask questions about the English language, translation intricacies, and grammar rules – right in the dialog mode.
The new feature not only allows users to clarify the meaning of specific words or phrases, but also to discuss a wide range of topics, from contextual differences in translations to the use of tenses and slang expressions. The neural network will be useful for beginners as well as those who already speak English and want to improve their skills.
Context explanation and translation assistance
Alice in Translation explains why the same word can be translated differently, helps you better understand contexts and apply grammar rules. Users can ask questions about tenses, idioms, abbreviations, and other language features. For example, you can specify that a phrase refers to a technical text, and Alice will suggest a translation in the appropriate style.
The neural network can also tailor the translation to the task at hand, making it more accurate and appropriate for a particular genre of text. This makes it especially useful for those who work with professional or specialized vocabulary.
