Choose the language you want to write in
Open Settings > Voice & translation > Translation > Translate to and choose one target from 303 target languages and variants. The capsule and Translation shortcut share this choice. Speech recognition preferences remain separate: use automatic detection, or choose up to 4 of 30 recognition languages.
Choose whether to clean up translated text
Want the translation polished too? Turn on AI cleanup of translated text in Settings > Voice & translation > Translation, and it comes out smooth, not word-for-word. Start with Translate on the capsule or your Translation shortcut.
Keep translation a shortcut away
The Translation shortcut defaults to Right Shift + Right Alt (Windows), Right Shift + Right Option (Mac) or Left Ctrl + Left Alt + Y (Linux), and you can change it on the Home screen. It starts a new recording for translation and uses the AI cleanup of translated text setting. Ordinary voice input keeps its Style choice.
Translate a saved transcript later
When the original transcript is still saved in History, translate it into another language and keep the earlier versions available. You can choose a result version to view and copy.
