TL;DR Google Translate is getting upgraded with new abilities, including a better understanding of idioms and other figures of speech.
Google is also expanding Live Translate to more languages and adding support for headphones from other brands.
Learning tools also get an upgrade, along with a Duolingo-style daily streak tracker.
With Gemini enhancing a wide range of modern Google apps, there’s no reason the classic favorites should stay behind. This is why Google is now announcing new improvements based on Gemini to one of its headlining apps, Translate.
Google has today announced new upgrades to Translate, powered by enhanced Gemini models. Google doesn’t specify which newer models, but we believe it is referring to the recently announced Gemini 3 and 3 Pro. With this improvement, Translate (and related functionality in Search) will be able to offer more nuanced, natural translations of slang, idioms, and other complex figures of speech.
The update will be available starting tomorrow, i.e., December 13, in the US and India, and will offer precise translation in more than 20 languages, in addition to English. Some of the common ones in that list include Arabic, Chinese, German, Japanese, and Spanish. It will be available on mobile via both Android and iOS, as well as on the web.
