In addition to calls, the translation feature also works for verbal and text communication. Samsung is also adding translation to its keyboard, allowing users to directly translate words and phrases as they type. The keyboard detects the language being used and translates the message into the recipient’s language. The translation features are powered by Google's efficient AI model, Gemini Nano.
