Google Translate Offers Great Updates

Google Translate’s live translate brings natural, near-real time audio translations to 70+ languages. Today, we’re introducing two updates to make translations even more seamless.

First, because more than a third of live translation sessions now last longer than five minutes, Android users can now keep live translations running in the background. This is perfect for longer sessions where you need to multitask or want to lock your phone screen. iOS support is coming soon.

Second, iOS users worldwide can now get live translations directly through their phone’s earpiece. (The feature is already available on Android.) When you don’t have headphones handy, just hold your phone to your ear. It’s great for catching announcements at noisy airports or following along on crowded tours.

A video shows Google Translate’s latest live translation capability, which listens to English and Spanish speakers have a natural conversation, and translates across both languages back and forth.

Mentors.net - a Professional Development Resource

Mentors.net was founded in 1995 as a professional development resource for school administrators leading new teacher induction programs. It soon evolved into a destination where both new and student teachers could reflect on their teaching experiences. Now, nearly thirty years later, Mentors.net has taken on a new direction—serving as a platform for beginning teachers, preservice educators, and

other professionals to share their insights and experiences from the early years of teaching, with a focus on integrating artificial intelligence. We invite you to contribute by sharing your experiences in the form of a journal article, story, reflection, or timely tips, especially on how you incorporate AI into your teaching

practice. Submissions may range from a 500-word personal reflection to a 2,000-word article with formal citations.
