Your Pixel phone is your new interpreter.
Talking to anyone in another language is easier with Pixel’s Live Translate feature. Here’s how it works.
Yasat Hoeun lives in the US, but he likes to stay in touch with his extended family in France.
“Their English is as good as my French – which is non-existent,” he says. Adding to the language complexities: Other members of his family only speak Khmer.
For years, apps and manual translations have filled the gap for Hoeun, but Live Translate, a feature on Google’s
“It’s life-changing for me,” Hoeun says. “We can text without having to switch in and out of different apps … and translate in no time.”
Even if you don’t have family in another country, the global, more connected nature of the world means you may find yourself needing to speak another language.

Stacie Clymo knows just how helpful Live Translate can be. A leasing and resident manager at an apartment and townhouse community, she says the feature has improved communication with her tenants. “Our residents are often from outside the US, and some do not speak English fluently,” she says.
Clymo likes to be able to get to know the people living in the community, but she doesn’t speak any of their languages. Live Translate streamlines her work and lets her talk freely with just about everyone, whether she’s making a phone call, speaking in person, or chatting over text.
