Google Translate Service Adds Automatic Language Detection Feature to Gboard Virtual Keyboard

Google Translate has given users the advantage of effective communication. It is handy for those travelers who feel stuck in a new place and do not know how to ask for the route from locals. Google Translate has multiple supportive aspects. The app is now far easier to use with the latest version since the company has updated the Translate service by adding a virtual keyboard known as Gboard to it. This feature aims to allow the virtual keyboard to update the language when you type something that is not in your device’s default language.

The new feature in the Google Translate app may not seem significant though it will make the lives of many users much easier and more convenient. You might also have questions about how this new feature is suitable for users who had to change the keyboard by manually going into the Gboard settings.

So how does this feature work? For example, your device has set English as a default language, and you want to use the Google Translate app to convert your text from Japanese. You can tap Japanese above the keyboard on the left of the screen and set it as the language to translate from. Then you start typing something on the given field, and the Japanese version of the keyboard will pop up on the screen. It means Google Translate has automatically changed the Gboard to its Japanese version for you.

With the latest update, Google Translate users will be able to eliminate the hassle of changing Gboard settings and save time to enjoy enhanced efficiency. Also, you can tap the globe icon on the left of the space bar to quickly return to your keyboard’s default language. Remember, the virtual keyboard of Gboard will automatically return to its default language after you quit the Google Translate app.

Another advantage of the new feature of Google Translate is that it fixes minor flaws while typing content using Gboard. The new update makes using the Gboard handier than it was ever before.

The Google Translate app can switch Gboard languages based on your desired language to translate from. It is a handy feature that will address a previous shortcoming with Gboard when you type in the app.

The latest version will allow you to automatically switch the keyboard between the app’s languages to meet your requirements. 9to5Google reveals that users can benefit from the latest update on many Android phones having Android version 12 installed. It is also available on gadgets with Android 11. The Google Translate version 6.33 and the Gboard version 11.6 have this feature available for your convenience.

You can also see the current versions of Google Translate and Gboard available on your device by going to Settings. Now tap Apps and choose the option saying ‘see all apps’.  Check individual apps by scrolling the screen and tapping on each one. You can find out the version of each app running on your device at the bottom of the page after choosing every app.
