Google could have another killer app for Samsung’s smart glasses

Samsung is collaborating with Google and eyewear brands Gentle Monster and Warby Parker to develop smart glasses, expected to be released in 2026. Google is enhancing its Translate app for these glasses, introducing a new 'Glasses' audio playback option in version 9.26.46.833192481.11, which will allow language translation directly on the device. The Live Translate feature will now function in the background, improving usability. A subsequent generation of Samsung's smart glasses with augmented reality (AR) is anticipated for 2027, competing with offerings from Apple and Meta.

Google is getting Translate ready to be the killer app for smart glasses

The Google Translate app is set to receive enhancements to its Live Translate feature, which allows real-time conversations with on-screen translations and audio playback. Upcoming features include the ability to control audio playback for each language, a persistent notification for seamless use while switching apps, and integration with XR glasses. The interface will also see a drop-down audio control menu with options for mute, speaker, and headphones. Additionally, the persistent notification will enable Live Translate to function in the background, allowing users to pause or resume translations directly from the notification.
