Google translate AI invents its own language

Google AI evolving

Stepping into unchartered, untrained language, Google Translate AI based on neural network  can now translate a complete sentence on languages it was not even trained for.
Google Translate AI evolving 

During my PhD in Korea, where English was not an extensively used language among the locals, I translated text through Google translate from korean to english. But students from Indonesia, Russia, VietNam, Egypt or Mongolia for whom, English was not primary medium of communication, had to translate between from Korean to English and then English to their language and off course vice versa.  This new capability would work wonders.
As stated by article  in recent issue of Scientific American, if for example neural network was trained to translate between English and Japanese, and English and Korean, it can also translate between Japanese and Korean without first going through English. This new capability would accelerate the ability of Google translate system to translate between a large number of languages without the need to translate to a popular common language first.
Currently, Google Translate is being used for translating a whopping 140 billion words from 103 languages every day.
