Android Smartwatches Are Now Your Personal Translator

  • To translate a message for a friend, simply speak into your watch. Flip your wrist up, and there will be text of what you said, but translated into a different language. Then, when they respond to you, you can flip your wrist back and read what they said in plain english. 
  • Google’s new personal translator feature works with 44 languages, and doesn’t require you to have the Google Translate app on your phone. 
  • Not only will this be great for tourists, but Google’s translate algorithms will likely improve with more data. So while the accuracy is acceptable today — Google Translate is usually fine — if this catches on, it could get even better in the future.
