Translation service Circle launching persistent 'Scroll-and-translate' feature, starting with Samsung devices first

Google has recently introduced a new feature for its Translate app, named "Scroll and Translate," on Android devices. This feature eliminates the need to restart the translation process every time the content on the screen changes, providing a more seamless and time-saving workflow.

The new feature allows text to continue translating even when you switch apps or scroll through a webpage or feed. After activating the feature, the current screen is automatically translated. To access the feature, users can tap the translate button in the Circle to Search panel.

Initially, the rollout of the "Scroll and Translate" feature is limited to select Samsung Galaxy devices that already support the Circle to Search feature. Unfortunately, the exact models have not been specified yet. It's also worth noting that the feature is not currently available on iOS devices.

It's unusual that the "Scroll and Translate" feature was not announced with the other new Android features on the same day as the new devices. However, the Google Translate update last week did introduce this new feature. No specific details were provided about when the feature will be available on other Android devices.

The "Scroll and Translate" feature is part of the recent Google Translate update and is intended to improve the translation experience on the app. With this new feature, Google aims to make translating content more convenient and efficient for its users.

As the feature begins rolling out this week, Android users can look forward to a more seamless translation experience. It's an exciting development for those who frequently use translation services on their devices. Stay tuned for more updates on the expansion of the "Scroll and Translate" feature to other Android devices and potential availability on iOS.
