local language

About this tag
The tag 'local language' on WindowsForum.com covers discussions about adapting technology to local languages, including Microsoft's Project Gecko using speech recognition and small language models for Swahili, Kikuyu, and Maa in agriculture, and Malaysia's real estate sector fine-tuning AI for Malay, Mandarin, and Malaysian English.
