Travellers and multilingual teams get near-live speech translation in the Translate app; developers can test the API preview for pennies a minute.

Kenning's take

What it does

Gemini 3.5 Live Translate translates speech as people talk, keeping the speaker's intonation and pace and staying a few seconds behind. It detects more than 70 languages automatically. It is in the Google Translate app on Android and iOS, in preview for developers through the Live API, and coming to Google Meet.

• Continuous speech-to-speech translation
• Automatic detection of 70+ languages
• Keeps the speaker's intonation and pitch
• Noise robustness
• Google Meet speech translation (private preview)

Who it suits. Travellers and people on multilingual calls, and developers building interpretation apps.
