Google Translate’s Live translate with headphones is officially arriving on iOS! And we’re expanding the capability for both iOS and Android users to even more countries, including France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Spain, Thailand, and the U.K. Live translate helps you instantly understand and connect with the world right through any pair of headphones in 70+ languages
Here are a couple of my favorite ways to use it:
- Deepening my connection with family: Dinners with my aunts and uncles chatting in Punjabi used to feel a bit like watching a movie without the subtitles. With Live translate, I can keep up with the conversation and jokes in real-time.
- Understanding the world as I travel: Live translate is a game-changer for getting recommendations, listening to train announcements and connecting with fellow travelers. Because it preserves the original speaker’s tone and cadence, I’m not just getting the exact words, but also the vibe of the city and the people who make it special.
To try it, open the Translate app, tap “Live translate” and connect your headphones.
