After you have prepared all the requirements above, let’s move to the tutorial.
How to Use Google Pixel Buds to Translate Languages in Real-Time
Before translating, you need to tell Google Assistant the selected language you are interpreting to.
1 Touch and hold the earbud or say, “Hey Google” or “OK Google” to activate your Google Assistant.
2. Tell the language by saying, “Help me speak French.”
Google Assistant will launch the Google Translate app in conversation mode.
You may now begin to speak your questions or statements. Then, Google Translate will instantly assist you in interpreting them in French or other languages that you have chosen.
Press and hold either earbud whenever you need to speak. When you’ve finished speaking, remove your finger from the earbud.
After that, your device will translate and read out loud the interpreted language.
If the person you’re speaking with is responding, tap the microphone icon in your Google Translate app. When he finishes speaking, the app will translate his response into your language. The translated response will then be read aloud by Google and heard through your Google Pixel Buds.
