Google Bard adds support for its first African language

Google has announced that its Bard generative AI platform now supports Swahili.

Spoken across the African continent, but in particular the East Coast, it also happens to be the first African language that Bard has added support for. “The launch of Bard in Swahili is a major milestone as it allows Bard to reach even more people in Africa, where approximately 150 million people speak Swahili. This makes Bard more accessible to everyone in the region, and we believe that it has the potential to be a powerful tool for creativity and learning.

Added to this is the ability for users to access Bard in their preferred language with text-to-speech also enabled in eight languages.
