Google’s Circle to Search tool just got a bit more useful, as it can now continuously . Until now, people had to restart the process every time the content on the screen changed. The update ensures the will keep on ticking along.
Google says this is great for getting “more context for social posts from creators who speak a different language” or when browsing “menus when you’re booking restaurant reservations while traveling abroad.” Just tap the “Translate” icon and look for the menu option “scroll and translate.”
This update not only keeps the translation tool going as you scroll, but it even keeps working when switching to another app. Google says “there’s no interruption” in these cases, which sounds pretty darned useful to me.
The update is rolling out now to Android users, but Samsung Galaxy devices are getting it first. Everyone else will have to wait a little bit.
This is just the latest update for Circle to Search. The tool also now lets users on phone numbers, emails and URLs.
