How does Google Translate recognize the language almost instantly?

What processes and technologies are they using?
I assume iterating over the words in all languages and returning the closest match would take way, way longer.

Thank you!

They are using natural language processing and tokenization.

This is pretty standard practice nowadays and results are far superior to dictionary lookups. It’s still not perfect but it’s far better than just a few years ago.
