Google Launches AI-Powered Contextual Translations

Google today launched AI-powered features in Google Translate that provide useful, contextual translation on mobile and the web.

contextual translations

One of the significant changes in Google Translate is the addition of more contextual translation options with descriptions and examples in the translated language.

This will allow users to accurately translate words, phrases, and idioms based on their intentions and context.

The feature will be rolled out in English, French, German, Japanese, and Spanish in the coming weeks.

new design

Google has also given its Translate app a makeover on Android, with a new look coming soon for iOS.

The new design provides more space for typing and easier access to voice input, conversation translation, and camera lens translation.

Google has also added new gestures to make the app easier to access, such as selecting a language with fewer taps and bringing up recent translations with a tap.

The new design makes translation results more readable, with a dynamic font that adjusts as you type text, alternate translations, and dictionary definitions for easy exploration of different meanings.

In addition, 33 more languages ​​are now available on the device in the Translate app, including Basque, Corsican, Hawaiian, and many others.

Image translation

Another development in the world of Google Translate is the expansion of image translation.

With the help of advanced machine learning, the app can now translate complex images and blend the translated text into them to look more natural (available on Android phones with 6GB+ RAM).

Google has also recently expanded its web image translation, allowing users to translate image-based content.

Google Translate continues to pioneer experiences driven by artificial intelligence, promising users faster, more accurate, and more dynamic translations in the app and around the world.

With these new features, the company hopes to make translation more accessible to its 1 billion users.
