Never be misunderstood in Thailand again! Google’s new ‘Interpreter Mode’ helps you translate Thai

The days of miscommunication and misunderstandings between foreigners and Thai speakers could be all but over, and it’s all thanks to Google.

The tech giant has just rolled out a powerful new update to Google Assistant that could change the way Thais and foreigners communicate.
Google’s new Interpreter Mode lets you have a conversation with someone who speaks a different language through the Google Assistant app.
The new feature enables a conversation to be translated in real time.
To use the feature make sure you have Google Assistant installed on your device.
Once installed, open the app and say “Hey Google, be my Thai translator” or “Hey Google, help me speak Thai”.
You then speak your phrase and Google Assistant translates not only the audio but also the text in real time. The other person can then speak into your phone to keep the two way conversation going.
The feature doesn’t only translate Thai and English but is also capable of translating a total of different 44 languages.
The Interpreter Mode, which was first announced earlier this year, is now available in the latest version of the Google Assistant app on iOS and Android and is being rolled out to users around the world.
If you haven’t already received the update, expect it to become available within the coming weeks.
