PCMag: Google Brings Real-Time Headphone Translation to iOS. “The Gemini-powered feature made its Android debut in December and lets you hear translations in real time through your headphones. To give it a try, launch the Translate app, select the desired languages, connect your headphones, and tap the Live Translate button at the bottom left of the home page.”

The amount of badly translated to Spanish interfaces I see online is very high. The translation of "open" as in "to open" is "abrir", not "abierto", and so on (my mail service is asking me if I want to "vacío" my spam folder). I guess most companies machine-translate everything nowadays and don’t pay anyone to check afterwards, even for the most basic things. #translation #machineTranslation #ux #ui #spanish #spanishLanguage

The Akihabara branch of the At Home maid cafe chain is piloting the use of Pixie Dust's Vuevo Display, which translates between about 100 languages in real time. The trial runs from 29 Jan until the end of March (just in time for the lunar new year and the expected increase in tourists, mostly Chinese, that are less likely to speak either Japanese or English).
