I've met some people from Myanmar, communicating with them is difficult. They speak Tai Yai. Especially because I'm not aware of any machine translation option, so a third party has to get involved.

I don't believe Google translate, Microsoft translate, any others I was looking at, have a Tai Yai feature.

Are there any options for translation without involving a human?

Tai Yai and Thai are similar. Have you tried that?

Yes, sadly the languages are far enough apart that translation to Thai doesn't bridge the communication gap.
