Overview

• Android Authority’s APK teardown indicates a new model picker with a speedy “Fast” option and a Gemini-powered “Advanced” option focused on accuracy.
• Initial support for the Advanced model is limited to English–Spanish and English–French pairs, with broader language coverage referenced for future updates in the code.
• The interface is being revised for easier one-handed use, moving the voice input button to the right and shrinking it while shifting microphone, handwriting, and paste controls to the bottom.
• A Practice mode geared toward language learning is in development and could put Translate in closer competition with apps like Duolingo.
• Google has not confirmed these changes or provided a release timeline.
