Overview
- Translate now suggests alternative phrasings that account for tone, context, and idioms rather than defaulting to literal word swaps.
- New interactive controls include an “understand” view that explains differences in meaning and tone across suggested options.
- An “ask” prompt lets users follow up with scenario-specific questions, including country or dialect preferences for a phrase.
- The features are available today in the Translate app on Android and iOS for users in the United States and India.
- Google says the experience will expand to the web, with timing not yet announced.
