Google Translate for Android has officially been available on the Android Market for one year this month, and Google is now updating the application with a new experimental Conversation Mode. We’ve seen a demo of this technology at last year’s IFA, which you can check after the break.
Essentially, Conversation Mode is a real time translating tool for ongoing conversations. It will be able to allow its users to talk to users of different languages and then the application itself will speak the real-time translations.
It’s definitely in the early stages of development and users will experience some accuracy problems when dealing with accents, background noise or rapid speech, but Google seems to be committed to further perfecting this technology.
To find Conversation Mode once you’ve downloaded this update, simply translate something with your mic – the option to enter Conversation Mode should pop up. If you would like a demo of Conversation Mode in action, check out the video below from IFA 2010, around the 26-minute mark.

The first version for Google Translate for Android was waaay back in January 2010. Google lets us know in a report today that since then, they’ve added several updates to make the app totally easy (easier) to work with. They’ve added dropdown boxes to help select languages, improved the input box (somehow or another) and cleaned up the icons and the whole layout. PLUS there’s an experimental feature added on.
This experimental feature is no less than “Conversation Mode,” an interface that works to help you communicate with a person speaking a language you dont understand in real time. Heck, you BOTH wouldn’t have to be able to understand one another for this to work if it works. This feature was demoed a few months ago in a very early form, but it’s ready to try out now in your very own download.
