Google Assistant gains built-in Interpreter Mode on Android and iOS.
Interpreter mode, the feature that allows Google Assistant to translate your conversations in real time, is coming to phones. Once you’re in interpreter mode, the Assistant will translate your speech and read it out loud.
Users will be able to activate Interpreter Mode on their phones (on both Android and iOS) simply by saying “Hey Google, be my (German, Spanish, Chinese, etc.) interpreter,” or “ Hey Google, help me speak Japanese.” At launch, Interpreter Mode will support up to 44 different languages, with Google saying that it hopes to expand that number in the future.
Google first demoed the mobile translation capability for India back in September. Assistant Interpreter Mode is rolling out to Android and iOS around the world starting today.
