Google Says You Can Now Hear Real-Time Translations In Your Headphones With The Help Of Gemini

• The company also said that it is rolling out a beta experience enabling you to hear real-time translations in your headphones, powered by Gemini’s speech-to-speech translation capabilities. 
• Yao said that the live translation received positive feedback in early testing and the company is rolling it out in the Translate App on Android in the U.S., Mexico, and India.
• The beta version will work with any pair of headphones and supports more than 70 languages, the company said.

Google said on Friday that it is incorporating its Gemini AI model to Google translate for text while also rolling out a beta version of live translation via headphones.

The company said in a blog post that Gemini’s capabilities will help improve text translation on idioms, local expressions or slang, allowing for more natural and accurate translations instead of word-to-word ones.

The update rollout will start today in the U.S. and India, allowing for translation between English and nearly 20 languages, including Spanish, Hindi, Chinese, Japanese and German, on the web as well as on the Translate app.

Live Translation

The company also said that it is rolling out a beta experience enabling you to hear real-time translations in your headphones, powered by Gemini’s speech-to-speech translation capabilities.

“Whether you're trying to have a conversation in a different language, listen to a speech or lecture while abroad, or watch a TV show or film in another language, you can now put in your headphones, open the Translate app, tap “Live translate” and hear a real-time translation in your preferred language,” executive Rose Yao wrote in the blog post.

Yao said that the live translation received positive feedback in early testing and the company is rolling it out in the Translate App on Android in the U.S., Mexico, and India. The beta version will work with any pair of headphones and supports more than 70 languages, the company said, while adding that it is aimed at preserving the tone, emphasis and cadence of each speaker to create more natural translations and make it easier to follow along with who said what.

The feature will be expanded to iOS devices and additional countries in 2026, Yao said.
