Google rolled out a new beta feature for its Translate app, enabling users to hear real-time translations through headphones. The initial launch targets Android devices in the United States, Mexico, and India. The feature supports over 70 languages.
This function aims to improve conversation flow. It achieves this by preserving the original speaker's tone, emphasis, and cadence during translation.
The update advances Google’s translation and language-learning services using AI. Google plans to expand the feature to iOS devices and additional countries in 2026. Available reports noted no significant market reaction due to the specific beta rollout status.
