Overview

• Google has begun rolling out the continuous translation feature this week on Android, with select Samsung Galaxy phones receiving it first and broader availability to follow.
• Users can enable the mode by long-pressing the home button or navigation bar, tapping the Translate icon, and selecting “scroll and translate.”
• Translations persist across scrolling and app switching with a perimeter glow and a language pill as indicators, and tapping the x ends the session.
• The update is designed for real-world use cases such as understanding social posts or browsing menus in other languages without leaving the app in use.
• The release builds on recent Circle to Search enhancements that added expanded AI Overviews, one-tap actions, and an AI Mode for follow-up questions.
