Hi… Why is the Kurdish language, the official language of the Iraq and Kurdistan region, spoken by millions of people, not included in chatgpt!
The AI can communicate in languages where there is adequate training corpus to learn the language.
“The literary output in Kurdish was mostly confined to poetry until the early 20th century”
OpenAI is taking strides to bring native interfaces to more languages.
Besides not being a supported country (due to various export reasons), where does Kurdish rank? You can probably answer your own question why software would take time to reach the language.
