However, an article dedicated to the Pixel Live Translate says, “text freely in 23 languages.” It is unclear what the other two remaining languages are.
Original article below:
With the release of the Pixel 10 series, the Live Translate feature received a massive update, namely the ability to recreate your voice with the new Voice Translate update. Exclusive to the aforementioned Google phones, this update seeks to replace the standard robotic voice that originally came with the feature and erode any further disconnect between the speaker and the listener.
Whenever you listen in on translated conversations over the phone, the first thing one will notice is the robotic voice that speaks plainly in an almost monotone voice. The new Voice Translate feature impressively remedies this by using Google’s AI to preserve your voice while translating what you’re saying into the listener’s language. This change allows the listener to not only understand the speaker but also recognise who the voice belongs to and vice versa, creating “a more natural back-and-forth” communication.
This feature also applies to messaging apps, where Live Translate will instantly translate your text and even voice messages into any of the 23 supported languages. Furthermore, since this translation occurs on the Pixel device, Google promises that any and all messages will remain secure and private.
Additionally, the Pixel 10 series can translate videos with Live Caption. Supporting up to six languages, this feature generates captions for the video and translates them into your preferred language in real time.
This update is not limited to the smartphone series alone, as the Pixel Buds can help translate face-to-face. By pressing and holding one of the buds, you can access Conversation mode, a special tool that can help you hold down dialogues in foreign languages. A window will pop up on the Pixel phone, prompting you to select a language and an on-screen button. Press and hold the button and the phone will translate their words into your preferred language and have them beamed directly to your pixel buds.
