What is Multilingual AI?

Multilingual AI systems can understand, process, and generate multiple languages. This capability makes AI applications more useful by allowing them to interact with people who speak different languages.

Understanding multilingual AI is crucial for developers and interactive application designers who aim to reach a global audience. 

It ensures that their products effectively communicate with users across diverse linguistic backgrounds.

Multilingual AI has many applications, including virtual assistants, translation services, and virtual characters in games and other AI-powered interactive environments.
