- Google Translate is testing a full-screen view for translated text.
- This should enhance both in-person and online interactions.
- Google is also testing new button configurations for its upcoming AI features that let you ask follow-up questions based on a translation.
At some point or another, we have all relied on Google Translate to hold and continue conversations with people who don’t speak the same tongue as us. It’s truly a game-changer for international travel. Despite the slew of voice-based translation apps, or even dedicated devices, basic text translation — the app’s core functionality — might be what rescues you. To enhance this core functionality, Google is now testing a method to display translated text more prominently.
Google is testing two changes to the Translate app to improve results. The first under-trial change, which we spotted in version 9.21.36.816661266.2 of the Google Translate app for Android, displays the translated text in a larger-than-usual font. The larger text also displays in full-screen mode, encompassing a larger section than before.
