Sep 25, 2025: Cortex AISQL AI_TRANSLATE (General Availability)

The AI_TRANSLATE function, part of the Snowflak Cortex AISQL suite, provides industry-leading quality for translations of call transcripts, product reviews, social media comments, and other text content. This function is now available to all Snowflake customers. Improvements over the original TRANSLATE (SNOWFLAKE.CORTEX) function include:

  • Hebrew, Greek, Turkish, Finnish, Arabic, Croatian, Czech, Romanian, and Norwegian are now supported, bringing the total to 23 languages.

  • Translation accuracy between any two languages is now equal to translations involving English.

  • Translation now better recognizes when the text is already in the target language, even when you don’t specify a source language.

  • More than 20% fewer input tokens are used for typical sentences, especially for shorter phrases, reducing costs significantly.
