IBM Watson is now fluent in nine languages

With IBM Watson, it’s possible for computer systems to understand the spoken language. Watson has learned nine languages up to now, which represents more than 90 percent of the world’s business languages. But how does it work that a computer can not just read languages but also understand them and translate them in the right context?

Speech is a natural format for communication all around the globe and even written messages have become increasingly conversational in tone. With IBM Watson it is possible for computer systems to understand spoken languages and the way we express ourselves in text.
