These translations are displayed in real time, with latency of approximately 100 milliseconds, so the translation happening behind the scenes is nearly invisible.
The chat window will automatically show Korean translated into English, or Turkish translated into German, and vice versa, so that each person sees the conversation in their own tongue. In any experience that has enabled our in-experience text chat service, people from different countries can now be understood by people who don’t speak their language. This is possible because of our custom multilingual model, which now enables direct translation between any combination of the 16 languages we currently support ( these 15 languages, as well as English).
Thanks to our new real-time AI chat translations, we’ve made possible on Roblox something that isn’t even possible in the physical world - enabling people who speak different languages to communicate seamlessly with one another in our immersive 3D experiences. Imagine discovering that your new Roblox friend, a person you’ve been chatting and joking with in a new experience, is actually in Korea - and has been typing in Korean the entire time, while you’ve been typing in English, without either of you noticing.
