February 11, 2021

If you have any video call If you have an important role in your work or are planning to travel abroad once the pandemic is over, you may have some difficulty with the target language. Don't despair, as Google Assistant is able to translate conversations in real time.

The best thing of all is that the functionality is very simple to use, just give a few commands for it to enter “interpreter mode”. It is also worth remembering that Google Assistant is available on both Android how much in iPhone.

How to make Google Assistant translate conversations in real time?

To get started, you can either open the app on your phone or say “Ok Google” to start receiving commands. Alternatively, tap the microphone icon.

Now, tell him “be my interpreter”. Then, choose which language you speak. Then, choose which language you want to translate into in real time.

Tap the microphone and start speaking so that Google Assistant can translate conversations in real time. From there, the program will translate everything you say.

In addition to translating in real time, you can simply ask for the translation to appear in writing on your cell phone screen. Just choose the “Keyboard” option in the bottom center bar of the app.

When you’re done with your conversation, just say “stop translating” and Google Assistant will revert back to its initial state.

How to avoid translation errors

One of the main problems when we talk about applications of artificial intelligence is that sometimes they are not that smart. That is, they will not understand a command, even if it seems very simple.

This can happen when trying to turn your Google Assistant into a translator in real time. So, try to use the correct words that we mentioned throughout the article. Also, it is important to understand that there is still a slight delay between what you say and the translation.

On the other hand, it is much more convenient to use a slow real-time translator than to resort to the famous mimes.

Before closing, an interesting tip: smart devices that use Google Assistant as a base (like Google Assistant itself) Google Nest) can also translate conversations in real time. It is also worth noting that the Google app is not the only one to have this function: Amazon Alexa also has real-time translation.
