Link: Google Translate brings real-time speech translations to any headphones

Google Translate now supports live speech translations on any headphones, expanding beyond its original limitation to Pixel Buds. This feature supports over 70 languages and is accessible with just a compatible Android phone and the Translate app.

The update also enhances text translations using Gemini technology to interpret phrases like idioms and slang more accurately. This improvement aims to bridge the gap between literal and implied meanings.

Additionally, the Practice feature in Translate has been expanded to 20 new countries and includes more languages. This feature, similar to Duolingo, creates personalized language learning sessions using AI.

Live speech-to-speech translation has started in the US, Mexico, and India on Android devices today. It is expected to be available on iOS devices next year.

Users can follow topics and authors related to this update to receive customized news feeds and email updates. This ensures they stay informed about the latest enhancements and availability.

By embracing advanced technologies and expanding language support, Google Translate is becoming an increasingly versatile tool for global communication. #
