The generative AI feature “Ask Anything,” which is expected to be rolled out to the Android “Google Translate” app, was described as “Ask Anything” in app version v9.18. However, in the Android “Google Translate” app v9.19, it has been translated into Japanese as “質問する,” making it more localized. Other descriptions related to “質問する (Ask Anything)” have also been localized.

Incidentally, the generative AI feature “Ask Anything (質問する),” expected to be rolled out to the Android “Google Translate” app, has likely been localized into languages other than Japanese as well. This suggests that in the Android “Google Translate” app v9.19, the generative AI feature “質問する (Ask Anything)” will soon be launched, including in Japan.

In addition, the Android “Google Translate” app v9.19 also hints at the addition of a new full-screen translation display button. However, since this has not been localized into Japanese, it might be an early release for English-speaking users, for example.
