November 25, 2024 — Snowflake Cortex AI TRANSLATE — Updates

We are pleased to announce the availability of the following new features and enhancements in this update to the Snowflake Cortex TRANSLATE function. The TRANSLATE function provides high-quality, reliable translations for call transcripts, product reviews, social media comments, and other text.

  • Improved translation quality. Translation quality is now on par wit the most powerful models in the market, with no need to optimize a prompt or train a model.

  • Improved translation reliability. The new version of TRANSLATE never refuses to complete translations.

  • Longer context length. The supported length of text to be translated has been increased from 1,024 to 4,096 tokens. (A token is approximately four characters.)

  • Additional languages. The TRANSLATE function now supports Dutch, Chinese, and Hindi. See the complete list of supported languages.

  • Mixed language support. Text written in a mixture of two languages can now be translated to a single language. For example, the TRANSLATE function can now translate “Spanglish” (an informal mix of English and Spanish used in parts of the United States) to just English.

For more information, see TRANSLATE (SNOWFLAKE.CORTEX).
