Google is improving its Circle to Search feature by adding a new function that lets users translate text on websites while they scroll. This upgrade fixes a prior issue where the translation process had to restart with each swipe. Now, once started, the translation flows continuously as new text loads on the screen. This enhancement is especially useful for viewing digital menus that consist of multiple images.
This improvement forms part of Google’s larger initiative to enhance its applications. Recently, Google has introduced features like iMessage’s top capabilities to Google Messages and AI writing tools for the Gboard app, boosting the user experience across its platforms.
To utilize the upgraded translation feature in Circle to Search, users must verify its availability on their devices. The rollout is currently in progress for Android devices, beginning with Samsung models. Users can activate the feature by long pressing the home button on their phone’s navigation bar, choosing the Translate icon, and locating the “Scroll and translate” option. If it’s not available, users may need to be patient for the update to arrive on their device.
The gradual rollout, which starts with Samsung devices, corresponds with Google’s longstanding partnership with Samsung, especially in the field of AI advancements. This update comes after Google’s recent launch of new Android functionality and Pixel-centric improvements in the latest Pixel Drop.
