                     Google Just Launched Translation Hub, 
Its Enterprise-Scale Translation Service
On October 11, 2022, at Google Cloud Next ’22, Sundar Pichai, CEO of Google and 
Alphabet, announced the launch of Translation Hub, the company’s enterprise-scale 
document translation service.
Pichai described Translation Hub as “Google Cloud’s AI agent that helps companies 
translate content in over 135 languages.” He added, “It takes full documents including 
images, and translates them while preserving layouts and formatting.”
Among those targeted by the service, according to the Google CEO, are researchers 
who want to share their findings with a global audience, product and service providers 
that want to reach underserved markets, and governments.
In a blog post marking the event, June Yang, VP of Google Cloud AI and Industry 
Solutions, said Translation Hub runs on machine translation and AutoML to translate 
content from Google Docs and Slides, PDFs, Microsoft Word, and other common 
document formats used by the enterprise.
“It not only preserves layouts and formatting but also provides granular management 
controls such as support for [postediting] human-in-the-loop feedback and document 
review,” Yang said.
As highlighted in the recently released Slator Machine Translation Expert-in-the-Loop 
Report, machine translation postediting (MTPE) is a huge growth area for the language 
services market — one that even Google apparently recognizes, even as it continues to 
focus on fully-automated machine translation.
Alongside news on Translation Hub during Pichai’s opening keynote, the CEO also 
announced the addition of 24 new languages to Google Translate “with machine-
learning techniques that can translate new languages without ever seeing a direct 
translation.”
