Google Translate: New AI features add live conversation translation and interactive exercises

Google has updated Translate with two major AI-powered features: an improved real-time conversation translator and interactive language-learning exercises. The update uses Googles latest Gemini-powered models to make translations more natural and to generate personalized practice materials.

Whats new

• Real-time conversation translation — Live audio translation with on-screen text across roughly 70+ languages, optimised to react to different conversational situations.
• Interactive language exercises — Practice modules that generate personalized activities based on your skill level and learning goals, making Translate more of a learning tool.

Why it matters

These features bring Translate closer to language-learning platforms like Duolingo by combining translation and practice. It’s useful for travellers, learners, and multilingual conversations in real time.
