Google announced a host of new translation-related features at its Live from Paris event today including improved contextual search, a redesigned iOS app and a seamless AR translation feature through Google Lens.
The search giant is improving contextual translation in English, French, German, Japanese and Spanish. This means that words and phrases with multiple meanings will get translated based on the context of the text. It’s a great way to make sure that your sentence sounds natural and that you’re using idiomatic words. It works a bit like Linguee and Reverso Context.
This may also be helpful to avoid using some offensive or hateful meaning of a phrase when you are not fluent in a language. Google said this update is rolling out in the coming weeks and will have support for more languages in the coming months.
