The annoyed green bird could become even more agitated. Google is upgrading Google Translate with Gemini AI. Translate now provides users with the opportunity to practice new languages by creating personalized listening and speaking sessions in their selected language, akin to Duolingo but without its well-known mascot.

“Whether you’re a novice starting to engage in conversation or an experienced speaker polishing vocabulary for a journey, Translate can now generate tailored listening and speaking practice sessions for you,” remarked Matt Sheets, a product manager at Google, in a blog entry on Tuesday. “These interactive practices are generated instantaneously and adapt smartly to your proficiency level.”

To get started, launch the Google Translate app, choose “practice,” determine your skill level and objectives, and you’re good to go! Translate will design a scenario customized for you. “In each scenario, you can either listen to dialogues and tap the words you hear to enhance comprehension, or you can practice speaking with useful prompts available as needed,” Sheets noted. Google Translate will track your development with each lesson.

“After receiving positive responses from early testers, we’re thrilled to begin deploying this beta experience more widely within the Translate app for Android and iOS this week,” the blog mentions. “It’s initially available for English speakers learning Spanish and French, as well as for Spanish, French, and Portuguese speakers studying English.”

Google also unveiled further enhancements to its language learning tools, including real-time translations in the Translate app. These enhancements are a result of Google’s AI and machine learning, which have significantly elevated translation quality, multimodal translation, and text-to-speech (TTS) features.

“Every month, individuals translate around 1 trillion words across Google Translate, Search, and in visual translations in Lens and Circle to Search,” Sheets indicated. “Now, with the help of AI, we’re making it even more straightforward to break down language barriers.”
