Translation Challenges: English ↔ Thai
Every language pair has unique challenges. Here's what makes English-Thai translation complex, and how LiveLingo handles each one:
Tone assignment
The AI generates Thai with correct tones. TTS pronounces them naturally.
Politeness level
Thai communication is highly deferential. The AI uses appropriate polite forms and particles.
No direct articles
Thai doesn't use 'the' or 'a'. The AI removes these naturally from translations.
