"An example of this is Google Translate, which was once the only pre-installed option for translating text on Android phones. Browsers now include this feature, but even that is too limited to cover all use cases. Until now, users had to restart the translation process when viewing a new screen or scrolling through content. This limitation has been removed with the new update."
"Google wants users to be able to read content in their own language in other apps as well. Think of Instagram feeds or restaurant menus, which will now also be translated when scrolling. A minimal pop-up appears at the bottom of the screen to indicate the language into which the content is being translated. The translations continue without manual restart."
Circle to Search adds live, continuous translation that persists while users scroll through pages and across apps, eliminating the need to restart translation on each new screen. Users activate the feature by long-pressing the home button or navigation bar, tapping the Translate icon, and selecting 'scroll and translate.' A minimal pop-up at the bottom of the screen shows the target language, and a glowing edge indicates Circle to Search is active. The capability builds on Google Lens’ circling function but extends beyond visual lookup, reducing reliance on separate translation apps and integrating with Google’s broader AI tools like Gemini.
