Title: Google's Circle to Search feature will soon handle language
translation

Google just announced that itΓÇÖs expanding its recently-launched Circle to
Search tool to include language translation, as part of an update to various
core services. Circle to Search, as the name suggests, already lets some
Android users research stuff by drawing a circle around an object.

The forthcoming language translation component wonΓÇÖt even require a drawn
circle. Google says people will just have to long press the home button or
the navigation bar and look for the translate icon. ItΓÇÖll do the rest. The
company showed the tech quickly translating an entire menu with one long
press. Google Translate can already do this, though in a slightly different
way, but this update means users wonΓÇÖt have to pop out of one app and into
another just to check on something.

The translation tool begins rolling out in the ΓÇ£coming weeksΓÇ¥, though
only to Android devices that can run Circle to Search. This list currently
includes Pixel 7 devices, Pixel 8 devices and the Samsung Galaxy S24 series,
though Google says it's coming to more phones and tablets this week,
including some foldables.

Google Maps is also getting a refresh, with an emphasis on AI. When you pull
up a place on Maps, like a restaurant, artificial intelligence will display a
summary that describes unique points of interest and ΓÇ£what people loveΓÇ¥
about the business. The AI will also analyze photos of food and identify what
the dish is called, in addition to the cost and whether it's vegetarian or
vegan. The company hopes this will make it easier to make reservations and
book trips.

Google

On the non-AI side of things, Maps is getting an updated lists feature in
select cities throughout the US and Canada. This will aggregate lists of must-
visit destinations pulled from members of the community and local publishers.
There will be tools to customize these lists as you see fit.

These will be joined by lists created by Google and its algorithm, including
a weekly trending list to discover the ΓÇ£latest hot spotsΓÇ¥ and something
called Gems that chronicles under-the-radar spots. All of these Maps updates
are coming to both Android and iOS devices later this month.
