"Google Translate's latest update brings live speech translations, originally available only on the Pixel Buds, to any headphones you want, with support for over 70 languages. It's rolling out today in beta and just requires a compatible Android phone with the Translate app (unlike Apple's similar feature, which requires AirPods). It's one of a few new features coming to Google Translate, along with improved text translations."
"Using Gemini, Translate will now offer more accurate translations of phrases like idioms and slang, which have a different meaning than what they literally sound like word for word, such as the expression "stealing my thunder." Today's update also includes an expansion of the Practice feature in Translate, bringing it to 20 new countries and adding more supported languages. The Practice feature, which launched in beta in August, is a bit like Duolingo, but baked into Google Translate."
Google Translate's update expands live speech-to-speech translation from Pixel Buds to any compatible headphones on Android, supporting over 70 languages and rolling out in beta. Live translation requires a compatible Android phone with the Translate app and is launching first in the US, Mexico, and India, with iOS support coming next year. The update also uses Gemini to improve text translations, better handling idioms and slang such as "stealing my thunder." The Practice feature expands to 20 additional countries, adds languages, and offers AI-driven, customized language-learning sessions with vocabulary and listening exercises; Practice remains in beta.
