Google adds helpful new features to Google Translate for iOS and Android
Last week, Google added AI features to the Translate app that will deliver alternative ways to convey certain phrases in different languages. In a new blog post, Google uses as an example the saying, 'It’s raining cats and dogs.' You would type the phrase under the Enter text heading. In the example, Google is translating the phrase into Spanish and the app translates the phrase.
What is new is that underneath the translation, Google Translate will show a lozenge-shaped button that says 'list alternatives.' Tapping it will show options for 'It’s raining cats and dogs' in Spanish and explain when you might use each one. In the example, there is a translation of 'It's raining cats and dogs' that you would use when you want to emphasize intensity. Another example shows how the phrase would be written if you were being hyperbolic with the use of the phrase.
You can also tap 'Understand' at the top of the screen after seeing a translation. This will show you a helpful AI overview. Or, you can tap on the other option, 'Ask' where you can follow up with a specific scenario. You might type, 'what's the most common way to say 'it's raining cats and dogs' in Argentina?'
