"Translation is one of the most-used features in Circle to Search - you can get more context for social posts from creators who speak a different language, or browse menus when you're booking restaurant reservations while traveling abroad," Google wrote in a blog post.

Now, users can get continuous translation as they scroll down a page or even switch apps.

A US federal court has told Google to pay $425m (316.3m) for breaching users' privacy by collecting data from millions of users even after they had turned off a tracking feature in their Google accounts. The verdict comes after a group of users brought the case claiming Google accessed users' mobile devices to collect, save and use their data, in violation of privacy assurances in its Web & App Activity setting. They had been seeking more than $31bn in damages.
