Language learning is currently at the heart of Google's innovations. Through all of its tools – including the most advanced and "intelligent" – the tech giant hopes to be able to communicate with one and all.

Google recently unveiled the latest advances of its conversational AI service Bard, which is now based on the language model, PaLM 2. This is fed with texts from more than 100 languages, although, for the moment, Bard is only usable in English, Japanese and Korean. The aim is for it to be usable in about 40 languages by the end of the year.
