TL;DR
- Translate appears to be working on an AI-powered button that offers alternatives to what you’re trying to translate.

- Google could introduce this option alongside the “Understand” and “Ask” buttons we saw earlier.
Many of us have spent the last couple years learning that modern AI does some things a whole lot better than others. While it sometimes misreports facts, “hallucinating” details, it tends to do a pretty decent job at stringing a few words together — even incorrect results don’t end up sounding like gibberish. That makes translation a pretty obvious target for AI’s skill set, and today we’ve spotted what looks like some new AI-powered functionality Google’s working on for its Translate app.
