Translate while you scroll with Circle to Search.

Circle to Search is already a great way to get helpful information about anything you see on your Android device. Now, we’re improving translation in Circle to Search, so you can translate as you scroll.

Translation is one of the most-used features in Circle to Search — you can get more context for social posts from creators who speak a different language, or browse menus when you’re booking restaurant reservations while traveling abroad. But until now, you had to restart the translation process every time you scrolled or the content on the screen changed.

With this update, the experience is continuous: Simply long-press the home button or navigation bar to start Circle to Search, tap the “Translate” icon and press “scroll and translate.” As you scroll down the page, or even switch apps, the text will continue to translate, so there’s no interruption.

This update will begin rolling out this week on Android, starting with select Samsung Galaxy devices.
