- Google is working on new features for Google Translate, including a new AI model picker.
- The model picker will let users choose between “Fast” and “Advanced” models, allowing them to choose between quick translations or more accurate ones powered by Gemini.
- Only English-Spanish/French pairs are supported so far for the Advanced model.
Google has been working on several major new features for Google Translate. These include AI-enabled translations, a redesign of the Conversation mode, and even a new Practice mode that could potentially compete with Duolingo. All of these feature AI at the forefront, and Google is not done with the changes yet. We’ve now spotted even more UI changes coming to Translate, alongside a new model picker to let you select the AI model for your translation needs.
We had already spotted Google working to add a button for the upcoming Practice feature. As part of the changes, Google would shrink the size of the voice input button and move it to the right instead of occupying the center position. The bookmarks button at the top for Saved content was also spotted back then.
