Samsung’s Galaxy AI has recently expanded its language capabilities to include 16 languages. Global collaboration and partnerships with academic institutions have made this significant achievement possible. A key player in this development was the Samsung R&D Institute India-Bangalore (SRI-B), the company’s largest research center outside of Korea.
Samsung Galaxy AI now supports Hindi language
According to Samsung, SRI-B led the development of the Hindi AI model, a complex undertaking due to the language’s numerous dialects, tonal variations, and frequent mixing with English words. The team tackled this challenge by utilizing a combination of translated and transliterated data, along with the expertise of native linguists, to ensure the AI accurately captured the unique phonetic structure of Hindi.
The Vellore Institute of Technology played a crucial role in providing a vast amount of curated audio data, including conversational speech, words, and commands, which was essential for incorporating Hindi, the fourth most spoken language globally, into Galaxy AI.
The collaborative efforts extended beyond India, with SRI-B working closely with other Samsung research centres worldwide to bring Vietnamese, Thai, and Indonesian to the Galaxy AI platform. The expanded language support in Galaxy AI, accessible through features like Live Translate, Interpreter, Note Assist, and Browsing Assist, enables users to enhance their language skills even offline.
In related news, Samsung will hold its next Unpacked event on July 10 for multiple markets. The event is expected to see the arrival of several new devices, such as the Galaxy Z Fold 6, Z Flip 6, Galaxy Watch 7, Galaxy Watch Ultra, Galaxy Buds 3 series, and Galaxy Ring. One of the major highlights of the event will be that these devices are expected to offer an enhanced experience of the Galaxy AI, which was introduced with the Galaxy S24 series of smartphones at the beginning of this year.
