Google Translate Adds AI Language Learning, Targets Duolingo in US, India, Mexico

News summary

Google Translate has introduced new AI-powered features designed to enhance live conversation and language learning experiences, directly competing with platforms like Duolingo. Leveraging its advanced Gemini AI models, Google Translate now offers live translation in over 70 languages, enabling seamless back-and-forth conversations with audio and on-screen translations, even in noisy environments such as airports or cafes. Additionally, the app includes a beta language practice feature that customizes lessons based on users' skill levels and goals, such as professional or everyday communication, and tracks daily progress to build confidence in speaking and listening. This new learning tool is initially available for English speakers learning Spanish and French, as well as Spanish, French, and Portuguese speakers learning English. Google emphasizes that these features were developed with language acquisition experts and are designed to tailor experiences to individual needs, potentially giving Duolingo a significant challenge in the language learning market. These updates are available now on iOS and Android in the U.S., India, and Mexico.
