Unlike other translation services, such as Babel Fish and AOL , which use technology, Google uses its own software. It is assumed that the company uses a self-learning machine translation algorithm [2] . In March 2017, Google fully translated the translation engine to neural networks for better translation. [3]

Opportunities
Google translator service also includes translation of the entire web page and even simultaneous search for information with translation into another language. For web designers, employees of the company have developed a script that allows you to organize the translation of the site into all available languages [4] .
Google Translator, like other automatic translation tools, has its limitations. This tool can help the reader understand the general meaning of the content of a text in a foreign language, it does not provide accurate translations.

Features
Due to the fact that the issuance of options is controlled by a statistical algorithm, when translating ordinary common words Google Translator can offer obscene words as possible options. The result of the issue can also be influenced by massively offering a certain, including obviously wrong translation option.
Google Translator offers translations from any supported language to any supported language, but in most cases it actually translates through English. Sometimes the quality suffers from this. For example, when translating from Polish to Russian, cases are usually violated (even when they are the same in Russian and Polish) . There are also languages that undergo a double translation processing process, first through a closely-related language, then through English. . Below are the languages involved in this algorithm:
- Belarusian ↔ Russian ↔ English ↔ Other
- Ukrainian ↔ Russian ↔ English ↔ Other
- Galician ↔ Portuguese ↔ English ↔ Other
- Macedonian ↔ Bulgarian ↔ English ↔ Other
- Slovak ↔ Czech ↔ English ↔ Other
- Urdu ↔ Hindi ↔ English ↔ Other
