New languages in PointFire Translator

21.08.20 04:08 PM Comment(s) By Martin Laplante

Because of recent changes to the Azure Translator Text API, a few new languages in the Western Iranian language group are being added to PointFire Translator.

Two versions of Kurdish are being introduced, Kurdish (Central), language code "ku", also called Sorani, and Kurdish (Northern), language code "kmr", also called Kurmanji.

In addition, two languages of Afghanistan are being added. Dari (prs) and Pashto (ps).  PointFire Translator had already supported Dari and Persian, and Dari is also supported by PointFire 365 and SharePoint. However, we had been using the same language code and translation engine for both of them, because they are so similar. Now Dari will use "prs" and Persian will use "fa" for Farsi, another name for the same language.
