Google is now rolling out to users the ability to automatically translate what is on their screen with a new feature dubbed “scroll and translate”. This function is built into Circle to Search and will now continuously translate whatever content is on screen.
For the longest time, the multinational company has been facilitating language translation for years. This comes as no surprise thanks to the uncontested dominance of Google Translate, as well as its soon-to-be-released language learning tools.
In an official blog post, the company stated that translation was the most used feature in Circle to Search’s large suite of abilities. Until recently, however, users were forced to reset the translation process whenever they scrolled or if the content on screen had changed.
This feature updates the typical translation process, allowing people to experience foreign content without any interruptions, even across apps. Scroll and translate can be activated in a similar fashion to Circle to Search, which is by long-pressing the home button or navigation bar and tapping “Translate”. Afterwards, it will then give users the option to scroll and translate. Google officially stated the feature will roll out across Android devices, starting with Samsung Galaxy devices.
