Crusty in the right places. Worth the chew.
Summary
Google is expanding real-time voice-to-voice translation with the launch of Gemini 3.5 Live Translate. The feature, which has been in development for years as part of Google's machine learning experiments, was previously limited to specific hardware like Google phones and earbuds. Now it's becoming more widely available through the Translate app, offering instant translation with lower latency across more platforms. The voice translations preserve the speaker's tone, pacing, and pitch, and include SynthID watermarks for security and authenticity.
