Samsung’s Live Translate now supports third-party voice calling apps

What is Samsung Live Translate?

Live Translate, powered by Samsung’s Galaxy AI, is a built-in tool that translates conversations in real-time during phone calls. This means you can have conversations with friends, family, or colleagues who speak a different language, without needing a separate translator app.

What’s New?

Previously, Live Translate was limited to standard phone calls made through the phone app. However, with the recent One UI 6.1.1 update, Live Translate now extends its magic to popular third-party calling apps.

Supported Apps

The update brings Live Translate functionality to a wide range of calling apps, including:

• Facebook Messenger
• WhatsApp
• Instagram
• Telegram
• Google Meet
• Signal
• KakaoTalk
• LINE
• WeChat

This extensive list covers most popular calling apps, making communication much smoother across languages.

How it Works

Live Translate uses on-device AI processing, meaning your conversations are translated directly on your phone without relying on an internet connection. This ensures privacy and potentially faster translation times.

Live Translate converts the voice from a supported language to your preferred language (also supported by the feature) in real-time. This allows for a more natural flow of conversation compared to using a separate translation app that requires stopping and starting the conversation.

Future of Live Translate

Samsung hints at expanding support for even more apps in the future, making Live Translate an even more versatile tool for staying connected across languages.

Overall, this update to Samsung’s Live Translate is a significant improvement for users who frequently communicate with people in different languages. It eliminates the need for juggling multiple apps and allows for a more seamless communication experience.
