"For 16 years, a team of linguists carefully crafted and honed the grammar editing software Grammarly to match natural English language patterns. Now, the company is getting a big assist from AI to expand similar offerings to five more languages: Spanish, French, Portuguese, German, and Italian. This expansion caters to what has been the "number one feature request" since the company's founding, according to Grammarly's VP of enterprise product, Luke Behnke."
"In addition to catching spelling mistakes, the app reworks sentences and paragraphs to match the tone of native speech and improve the overall clarity - now in six languages. Grammarly also translates the six core languages into 19 different languages "without having to leave the tool and go to another translation provider," Behnke says. The competition for AI-based software for languages other than English is heating up, with Google Search's AI Mode just broadening the number of languages by five"
Grammarly built its grammar-editing product over 16 years with teams of linguists to match natural English patterns and now uses AI to expand into five additional languages. The app corrects spelling, reworks sentences and paragraphs to match native tone, and improves clarity across six core languages. The software also translates those six core languages into 19 other languages without leaving the tool. Large language models were introduced in 2023 and Grammarly uses open-source LLMs fine-tuned by analytical linguists. The company acquired Superhuman, launched nine AI agents, and faces rising competition from Google and Apple.
