In June, Google announced that it had expanded the language palette of Google Translate by 110 languages. One of them is Romanes. According to linguist Viktor Elšík, it is good that the Romani language is represented in a virtual public space. However, Elšík adds that it is necessary to take into account the fact that the translations are not according to the north-central Romani language, which is used in the Czech Republic and Slovakia.

Well, in fact, the Romanes used in Google translate does not correspond to any single dialect of Romanes. It is a mix of all dialects.
