Watch your language! 44 of them, actually.
August 20th, 2015 | Published in Google Translate
More than 500 million people use Google Translate every month across web and mobile phones, translating more than 100 billion words every day around the globe. Now, we’re launching Google Translate on all Android Wear watches, too.
Translate is built into the latest Android Wear software update, so you can have bilingual conversations even if you don’t have Google Translate on your phone, or if you’re away from your phone but connected via Wi-Fi.
And it’s easy to use - just speak into your watch to see your conversation translated into any of 44 languages. Flip your wrist to show the translation to a friend. When they respond in their own language, flip your wrist back, and you’ll see in your language what they’ve just said. Google Translate will automatically recognize which of the two languages is being spoken, so once you tap to start the conversation, all you and your buddy need to do is keep talking naturally.
Google Translate covers 90 languages total (for text translation), and we are always working to expand the number of languages that work across various features.
