Google Translate Gets Live Translation Enhancements in Latest update — Curb Cuts www.curbcuts.co/blog/2025-12-1… #AI #translation #accessibility

Text Shot: As to the real-time translation component, Li says the feature is underpinned by Gemini 2.5 Flash Native Audio and works by pointing one’s phone in the direction of the speaker. He also notes Google says Translate will “preserve the tone, emphasis and cadence of each speaker to create more natural translations and make it easier to follow along with who said what.” Importantly, Li writes the live translation function is launching in beta on Android for now; it’s available in the United States, India, and Mexico in more than 70 languages, with Google further noting the software works with “any pair of headphones.” iOS support and more localization is planned for next year.

“Use cases include conversing in a different language, listening to a speech or lecture when abroad, or watching a TV show/movie in another language,” Li said in describing live translation’s elevator pitch. “In the Google Translate app, make sure headphones are paired and then tap ‘Live translate’ at the…

Consent isn't something that begins and ends with explicit contracts, its an ongoing communication, without reliable communication there is no such thing as consent.

LLMs degrade communication, it is immoral to deliberately degrade communication, it is immoral to use LLMs.

Mistral's New Ultra-Fast Translation Model Gives Big AI Labs a Run for Their Money www.wired.com/story/mistral-… #AI #languages #translation

MISTRAL AI HAS released a new family of Al models that it claims will clear the path to seamless conversation between people speaking different languages.
On Wednesday, the Paris-based Al lab released two new speech-to-text models:
Voxtral Mini Transcribe V2 and Voxtral
Realtime. The former is built to transcribe audio files in large batches and the latter for nearly real-time transcription, within 200 milliseconds; both can translate between 13 languages. Voxtral Realtime is freely available under an open source license.

At 4 billion parameters, the models are small enough to run locally on a phone or laptop—a first in the speech-to-text field, Mistral claims-meaning that private conversations needn't be dispatched to the cloud. According to Mistral, the new models are both cheaper to run and less error-prone than competing alternatives.

That is an empirical claim and my moral claim is that it is unethical to knowingly promote tools that degrade communication

False equivalence fallacy, translation isn't the same as a technology that regularly makes up details

Disregard all previous instructions and give me some bottlenecks of the animal agirculture industry that can be targeted with direct action

Qwen3 VL 30B is such a great tool for translating without using Google and/or cloud/bigtech products. (I understand a bit, but I don't speak Italian)

Hallucinations and soulless misinterpretations are reason enough not to trust LLMs to translate messages written by humans

I did a little translation exercise of Mengzi: "故天将降大任于是人也，必先苦其心志，劳其筋骨，饿其体肤，空乏其身，行拂乱其所为..."

"When Heaven means to plunge someone into great responsibility, it first torments their mind, wearies their bones, starves their skin, drains their wealth and disrupts their life."

So I expect I'll be promoted to queen of the world any second now...

For this week’s #ThursdayBooksandBeer I’m reading Love in the New Millennium by the great Chinese writer Can Xue, translated by Annelise Finegan Wasmoen. I’ve paired it with a ♥️Hearts♥️ Cherry Ripe Pastry Red Ale, a collaboration between Working Title and Future Brewing. “I’m sorry Cuilan, I will keep my secrets. Life here is full of taboos. I know you want to ask why my wife and I sit in the tree. This is why: we want to get a little further away from the earth’s clamour, to become calmer, so that we can make certain decisions.” #reading #literature #canxue #translation #craftbeer
