Google Rolls Out 'Scroll and Translate' in Circle to Search for Continuous On-Screen Translation

The update begins this week on Android on select Samsung Galaxy phones.

Overview

  • The new mode keeps translating text as users scroll through pages or switch between apps without restarting the process.
  • Users activate it by long-pressing the home or navigation bar, tapping the Translate icon, then selecting Scroll and Translate.
  • Availability starts on select Samsung Galaxy devices as part of a staged rollout announced by Google.
  • Google cites frequent use for understanding foreign-language social posts and translating menus during travel.
  • The release follows earlier beta sightings and builds on Circle to Search additions like AI Overviews and one-tap actions.
