Google's real-time translator, Interpreter, comes to mobile

Google's real-time translator, Interpreter, now comes to mobile. The company first brought it to its smart speaker and displays earlier this year and have finally followed suit for mobile.

The Interpreter is already available for both Android and iOS globally, and it is very convenient on mobile. The feature will allow you to translate things on the go and help you a lot of especially when you travel.

The Interpreter works in tandem with the Google Assistant. You can say something like – "Hey Google, be my French translator," or "Hey Google, help me speak German," to kick the feature off. Then interpreter will offer you real-time translated transcript and audio. There are also some 'Smart Replies' fed in, much like it is in Google's other apps which involves any form of communication, to help you take the conversation forward.

You can see and hear the translated conversation on a Smart Display.

Currently, this feature is available in 44 languages including Arabic, Czech, Mandarin, Norwegian etc.; you can see the full list here. This is much more than the 29 languages available on Google's smart display and speakers.

Interpreter is integrated directly into the Google Assistant app, to there is no need to download an additional translation app. Between the Interpreter, Map and Lens, Google seems to be beefing up its needed-for-travel apps arsenal.
