LAKE CHARLES, La. (KPLC) - These days, itâs hard to come across someone who can speak Creole French, and thatâs because itâs one of 10 endangered languages across the globe.
To preserve endangered languages, the Google Arts & Culture app launched Woolaroo â an open-source photo-translation experiment powered by machine learning. The app was created in close collaboration with language organizations from five continents and multiple teams across Google.
