Pixel phones turn your spoken words into audio in another language, and turns the responses in that other language into audio in your original language, so both sides understand each other. In interpreter mode, things get even more fun. That means you can read text in another language by pointing the camera at a sign or a menu, or watch a video that isn’t in your native tongue with Live Caption. On Pixel phones, Live Translate works across text, camera, videos, podcasts, phone calls, video calls, and audio messages. 1 And thanks to Google Tensor, the new processor made by Google, it puts state-of-the-art speech recognition and language translation in your pocket so it can run on-device rather than through a network and server – no internet connection required. Live Translate on Pixel phones makes real-time translation possible – not just text-based language but also spoken words, interpreting live audio from one speaker to another – with no app needed. “We can text without having to switch in and out of different apps… and translate in no time.”Įven if you don’t have family in another country, our global world means you may find yourself needing to speak across languages. It automatically translates messages as they arrive on his phone, no separate app needed. Apps and manual translations have filled the gap for years, but Live Translate on Google Pixel phones has changed everything. Additional members of the family only speak Khmer, adding to the language complexities. 'Today's updates knock down a few more language barriers, helping you communicate better and get the information you need.“Their English is as good as my French – which is non-existent,” he says. 'We've still got lots of work to do: more than half of the content on the Internet is in English, but only around 20 percent of the world's population speaks English,' Turovsky said. But even with the help of the Translate Community and today's update, there's still more to be done to enhance Google Translate's skill set. At this site, people can correct any translation that Google gets wrong and type in their own phrases and translations. To help improve its app's translation skills, Google relies on the Translate Community. 'In many emerging markets, slow mobile networks can make it challenging to access many online tools - so if you live in an area with unreliable mobile networks, our other update today is for you,' Barak Turovsky, product lead for Google Translate, said in a blog post on Wednesday. Google is also promising smoother, more natural conversation, even on a slow mobile network.
