Roblox Adds AI Chat Translation | Techmeme Ride Home Podcast

More gaming, but Gaming tied with AI, cause that is one of the use cases for LLMs that folks are most excited about. Making your NPCs smart. Ish. Roblox has rolled out real-time AI chat translations, with support for 16 languages, built on an LLM trained on open-source and internal Roblox data. Quoting Tom’s Guide.

Metaverse platform Roblox is bringing a new AI translation tool online for its millions of users around the world, making it easier to communicate regardless of a player's native language.

Built on a new custom artificial intelligence language model, the translation service will work in real-time chat and convert a message in one language to the user's native language instantly.

Roblox boasts over 70 million users connecting every day with some 2.4 billion messages exchanged between 180 countries every day and, according to the company, a third of the time people are chatting with others who don’t speak the same language as them.

This is likely an indication of how AI is going to be used in gaming, particularly multiplayer gaming in the short term. It presents a way to improve connections and communication. We could also see future models that incorporate live voice translation for in-game chat.

Live AI translation in Roblox works across 16 languages and is built on top of the TextChatService. Users simply start typing in their native language and others will see the message automatically converted.

“For example, a user in Korea can type a chat message in Korean, and an English-speaking user will see it in English, while at the same time, a German-speaking user will read and respond to the message in German,” and they’d all understand each other. ENDQUOTE
