Google has announced an Interpreter Mode for Smart phones. The real-time translation tool is now coming to Assistant for Android and iOS with a new Smart Replies capability.
Like on smart home devices and Assistant headphones, you can launch Interpreter Mode by saying “Hey Google, be my French translator” or “Hey Google, help me speak Portuguese.” Assistant slides up a sheet and you can start speaking.
You’ll then see and hear the translated conversation on your phone. After each translation, the Assistant may present Smart Replies, giving you suggestions that let you quickly respond without speaking—which can make your conversations faster and even more seamless.
