The social network VKontakte has added instant translation of text in chats into other languages — English,
Messages will also be automatically translated from other languages into Russian. In this case, the transfer will be carried out only if the user himself wants it.
VKontakte uses a neural network model,which is trained on open data and is able to take into account the peculiarities of vocabulary and the manner of communication of users. The system distinguishes slang well and allows you to translate colloquial, artistic, and official business phrases.
In the future, the number of supported languages will expand.
