Google's Circle to Search tool just got a bit more useful, as it can now
continuously translate text while scrolling. Until now, people had to restart
the process every time the content on the screen changed. The update ensures
the translation feature will keep on ticking along.

Google says this is great for getting "more context for social posts from
creators who speak a different language" or when browsing "menus when
youΓÇÖre booking restaurant reservations while traveling abroad." Just tap
the "Translate" icon and look for the menu option "scroll and translate."

This update not only keeps the translation tool going as you scroll, but it
even keeps working when switching to another app. Google says "there's no
interruption" in these cases, which sounds pretty darned useful to me.

The update is rolling out now to Android users, but Samsung Galaxy devices
are getting it first. Everyone else will have to wait a little bit.

This is just the latest update for Circle to Search. The tool also now lets
users conduct one-tap actions on phone numbers, emails and URLs.
