Summary
-
Google tests fast and advanced translation modes in Google Translate for iOS;
-
Advanced mode promises more precision and can use Google Gemini AI;
-
Function is still being tested and has no confirmation of launch.
Google Translate (Google Translate) has been enhanced with artificial intelligence resources. In this sense, a recent test on the service suggests that the user will be able to choose between performing a quick translation or an advanced translation, which may take longer to present, but is more accurate.
The new approach is not yet official, but was reported by 9to5Google based on a trial version of Google Translate for iOS. The screenshots show a small button at the top of the app’s text box that, when clicked, allows the user to switch between Fast and Advanced modes.
Advanced mode is enabled by default and, according to the feature description, is recommended for complex translations. Presumably, this mode triggers AI models that are more capable of translating long texts or texts with technical language, for example. Everything indicates that this function is linked to Gemini models.
Maybe that’s why the Google Translate app informs that, for now, Advanced mode only works in some languages and only translates text (that is, it doesn’t work with voice).
As Advanced mode may take longer to present the result, the user can use Quick mode to quickly translate simpler texts, which can be useful when traveling, for example.
When will the new Google Translate modes be released?
It’s still not clear. To date, Google has not made any announcements on the matter. For now, the new approach is being tested, which is why it may even be discarded by the company if the results are not interesting.
O 9to5Google raised a question, however: if Google Translate really receives the new approach, will Advanced mode be restricted to paying users?
The possibility of charging lies in the fact that this mode tends to require more processing resources and, therefore, it would not be surprising if it were intended for Google AI or Google One subscribers, for example.
But, again: Google has not yet confirmed the new approach, much less signaled whether it will, in fact, require a paid subscription.
