Google has now dropped Gemini 3.5 Live Translate, and it’s the most ambitious thing the company has done with language since the original experiment launched.

It detects over 70 languages automatically, no manual configuration, no awkward menu-diving. Moreover, it preserves the speaker’s actual intonation, pacing, and pitch, not a robotic approximation.

Google Meet’s speech translation topped out at five languages and only worked between English and something else. Now it’s 70-plus languages and over 2,000 language combinations in a single meeting.

Our partners at Grab are testing the model to enable multilingual communication in near real-time between drivers and travelers at pickups. These users make over 10 million voice calls per month through Grab.

Developers can access 3.5 Live Translate right now through the Gemini Live API and Google AI Studio in public preview. Enterprise customers get a private preview in Google Meet starting this month, and regular users?

It’s rolling out globally on Google Translate for both Android and iOS.

The model is also rolling out on the Google Translate app globally, on both Android and iOS. When using the Live Translate feature, simply connect any pair of headphones to experience a more seamless translation that mirrors the speaker’s tone across 70+ languages.

Android users also get Listening mode, which lets you hold your phone to your ear and hear translations stream directly through the earpiece. No headphones needed, surprisingly useful in a noisy street interaction.

All generated audio gets watermarked through Google’s SynthID system, so AI-produced speech stays detectable.
