According to this article, "in a project called "No Language Left Behind," Meta has built an artificial intelligence model - NLLB-200 - that can translate text across 200 different languages." Like most readers, I am sceptical of Meta's intentions in anything they do. So I approach this particular resource with caution. But it does signify the wider trend toward instant and widely available automated translation, something that will genuinely revolutionize the world (and partially erase the in-built advantage native English speakers have enjoyed in business and academia).
