This functionality works separately from Google Translate, and is actually built right into Android on Pixel devices. It means you can understand conversations you're having or videos you're watching in a foreign language without any additional apps, and it's straightforward to set up and use.
Note that only a limited number of languages are supported at the time of writing, when it comes to on-board, local conversions without any data being sent to the cloud for processing. For audio translations, for example, you only have access to French, German, Italian, Spanish, and Japanese.
Configuring Live Translate
Languages need to be downloaded to your device. Credit: LifehackerPart of what makes Live Translate so straightforward to use is that it'll automatically detect languages you come across as you use your phone, and prompt you to download the necessary data files. Unlike Google Translate, you must have languages downloaded locally for the feature to work.
If a language isn't downloaded automatically for whatever reason, or you want to make sure it's prepared in advance, tap Add a language and make your choice. This Live Translate settings screen is where you can access your downloaded languages: Use the toggle switches to enable and disable them, or tap a language and then choose Remove language to delete it.
Using Live Translate for messages
Enabling Live Translate in Google Messages.

You'll also be prompted to translate your English texts into whatever the relevant language is, before you send them, so you can be understood.
You'll get a persistent toolbar at the top of a chat when Live Translate is running, and you can tap on this for further options—including the option to translate all the messages in a conversation. If you want to switch off the feature permanently for a chat, choose Don't translate again; to temporarily disable it, choose Hide translations for now (you can enable translations again using the copy trick above).
Using Live Translate for audio

You should then see a Live Caption button you can tap. Once the captions are on screen, and a foreign language is detected, you get a prompt to translate the text to English (or the default language for your device).
To get further options, tap the text on screen—here you can force a translation to English if it isn't happening automatically, or turn translations off again. You will also see an icon that looks similar to a painter's palette, and if you tap on this you can configure how the captions appear in terms of size and color.
Other uses of Live Translate
Live Translate through the camera, via Google Lens. Credit: LifehackerTap the Google Lens button in the Google search bar on your Pixel home screen—it's the one that looks like a colorful camera—then point your camera at something like a sign or a menu written in a foreign language. If you then switch to the Translate mode on screen, the text should be translated almost instantly on your phone display.
In addition, Google has previously advertised an interpreter mode, where live conversations are translated in real time. However, this originally worked via Google Assistant, and given the switch to Google Gemini that's now happening, it now seems to have been disabled (it's not functioning for me, at least). You can use the Conversation mode built into Google Translate for this instead: Just tap Conversation inside the app.
