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 say
