Google has just unveiled a Google Translate update. People who depend on Google Translate for interpreting and translating to and from other languages will be pleased to learn that Google will now save translate history into their accounts. This means, all translations that a user makes or generates will be stored or attached to their account. Google will be able to retrieve these translations so that users do not have to translate repeatedly. In addition, users will be able to sync translations between multiple devices. This is possible because these translations are stored in Google accounts.
To access translation history, here is what users need to do:
Login to Google account before conducting a translation
Run a translation normally as one always would
Retrieve translations on other devices in real time
Manage translations under My Activity section
Add, delete or edit translations in the My Activity section
Whom is the new Google Translate update for?
This feature will prove to be a boon for those who travel often. It is also a gift for those who often converse with foreigners or work as travel agents. As businesses and corporate employees increasingly use Google Translate, the ramifications of this update could be enormous.
Important: Make backups of existing translations in the cache
However, there are a few issues that may create problems for users. Those who have cached translations in their devices may lose them forever. Before the change goes into effect, it is advisable to save all these translations so that they are available for later use. Google has begun to flash warning popups already. This means, the changes may go live anytime soon. It may happen in the next few days or even weeks. This should be reason enough to make backups of translations stored in the cache.
Translating may change dramatically in the near future, thanks to AI and ML
As artificial intelligence and machine learning improve, translations will improve dramatically. Text to speech and emotion recognition may work well with translation technologies in the future. Over a period of time, the need to learn foreign languages may cease to exist, making communication seamless. This will also open up access to publications, journals and books written in foreign languages. If translators and interpreters are worried, Google Translate seems to have no qualms about it whatsoever.
As Google revolutionized the world with Gmail, they claim to be ready to do it once again with Inbox, a new service launching now.
E-mails have long ago stopped being exciting to become more of a chore, especially if you use them for both work & personal stuff. That is why Google, well aware of what a mess most of our inboxes are (and they should be, they host most of them!), are introducing a new service called simply Inbox.
Inbox is, according to the Google team, a different type of inbox with a “focus on what really matters”. The idea is that we get so many e-mails a day that inbox will cleverly sort them out so we don’t have to. Inbox works expanding on the Gmail categories introduced last year and bundling e-mails in groups, while providing highlights from important e-mails at a glance. Say, if you have a travel itinerary e-mailed to you, only the relevant information will be displayed with none of the fluff.
Inbox will, as well, become a personal organizer of sorts with configurable reminders for everyday tasks: from working out to picking your laundry or calling your parents. All these things you can sort of already do with different apps, but Inbox aims to be a centralized resource for things and save you valuable time you can spend doing whatever else. Will it work? Well, how about you tell us? Sign up for the beta by asking for an invitation at inbox@google.com.
