Forty languages today
What the current build covers, what it does not, and what is being worked on. If the language you need is missing, that is worth knowing before anything else on this site.
Every language you can hold a conversation in
Forty, and each of them works in both directions: the person writes and reads in theirs, you write and read in yours. When a language is added it appears for everyone, with nothing to update on your side.

How well each one performs
Quality is not the same across every language, and the ones with the least training data are often the ones a frontline service most needs. Saying that in a sentence is not much use to somebody deciding whether their caseload is covered.
This page will carry per-language figures: how fidelity scores distribute for each language, how often a translation is revised before delivery, and how often the tool asks a clarifying question instead of answering. All three come out of the system as a by-product of running, so they do not need a separate exercise to collect.
They are not published yet. Producing a distribution that means something needs enough real conversations per language to be worth reading, and it needs the method checked by somebody who is not us. That is part of what the academic validation being arranged is for.
Until those numbers are here, this page shows an empty space rather than a placeholder score, for the same reason the product shows nothing beside a turn it did not score.
Ask about your languages
Tell us the three or four you meet most often and we will tell you what we know about them, including where we would be cautious.
That is a more useful answer than a table average, and you get it from a person rather than a number.
Welsh and Scottish Gaelic
Both are supported, on both sides of the conversation
Public bodies in Wales work to Welsh Language Standards, and Scottish public authorities to Gaelic Language Plans under the Gaelic Language (Scotland) Act 2005. Both languages are in the build, and the interface the other person sees renders in them as well as the translations. My Words does not by itself discharge a duty under either regime, but it is one of the places a service can meet it in practice.
The scripts being worked on next
The current build covers European languages and the indigenous languages of these islands. It does not cover Arabic, Urdu, Punjabi, Bengali, Somali, Farsi, Pashto, Kurdish, Tigrinya or Mandarin, and for some services those are the whole point.
Those scripts are the next block of work, along with the right-to-left handling that goes with several of them. If one of them is your main need, tell us and we will tell you where it actually is rather than where we would like it to be.
