Vancouver, BC – January 24, 2025 – Creating in two languages can be both rewarding and challenging, as it requires not only a deep understanding of each language but also an ability to navigate cultural nuances and maintain consistent quality across translations. In today’s interconnected global world, bilingual AI tools have become essential for writers, marketers, and businesses aiming to communicate effectively with diverse audiences.
These tools streamline the writing process, making it easier to switch between languages, refine grammar and syntax, and ensure that the intended message resonates in both linguistic contexts. Whether you’re crafting content for a multilingual website, translating marketing materials, or writing a bilingual book, AI-powered solutions can save time, reduce errors, and enhance creativity.

Some examples of Bilingual Tools/Concepts:
Josua Waghubinger (Butterbro) – A Controversial Creator
A song about immigrants whose music, vocals and artwork were entirely generated using artificial intelligence has made the Top 50 most listened to songs in Germany, in what may be a first for a leading music market.
Verknallt in einen Talahon (Infatuated with a Talahon) is a parody song that weaves modern lyrics – many of them based around racial stereotypes about immigrants – with 60s Schlager pop.
The song is No 48 in Germany, the world’s fourth largest music market. Less than a month after its release, the song has 3.5m streams on Spotify and is No 3 on the streaming platform’s global viral chart.
Its creator said he made the song’s chorus by feeding his own lyrics into Udio, a generative artificial intelligence tool that can generate vocals and instrumentation from simple text prompts.

TextShuttle – Understands Dialect!
A Swiss Startup and spin-off of the ETH in Zurich (that’s where Einstein was professor of theoretical physics) is now challenging DeepL and Google.
It’s called Textshuttle and it can do a few things they famously can’t, such as translate from and into Swiss German (yes, spoken dialect). Currently there are two dialects only – “Züridütsch” and “Berndütsch”, but more will be added depending on popular demand. And it can do Romansh (sometimes referred to as Rheto-Romance), that ancient tongue still spoken by some 60.000 Swiss. Both Schwizerdütsch and Romansh have been neglected by the giants Google and DeepL, and so it came about that a group of brainy language and IA experts based at the ETH felt it was time that multilingual Switzerland had its own translation tool to cover its national languages – plus a few others, with more being added all the time.

In Summary
Many AI tools are developed with an English-speaking, America-centric focus, reflecting the dominant use of English in global business and technology. However, as globalization increases, there is growing demand for AI tools that cater to multilingual users. These tools are becoming increasingly sophisticated, supporting diverse languages and cultural nuances to address the needs of bilingual and multilingual communities worldwide.
Some AI tools that even can understand strong accents or dialects include: Google Speech-to-Text API, IBM Watson Speech Recognition, Microsoft Azure Speech Services, Fluent.ai, Spellar AI and Narration Box, all of which leverage advanced algorithms to analyze speech patterns and adapt to different accents across various languages and dialects.
Recognizing the value of linguistic diversity, developers are beginning to prioritize inclusivity and expand the scope of these technologies beyond the limitations of a single-language mindset. Embrace these AI tools to enhance your bilingual creativity and to create songs that will resonate with more people around the world. Let me know if there is a tool you are using that helps you create content in more than one language!
