Like an interpreter,
Pixel Buds wireless earphones from Google are able to translate words
from the other person directly into the user's ear thanks to Google
Translate technology. The translation capability was
initially only available exclusively on Pixel Buds earphones paired with
Google Pixel smartphones. However, recently, the
official Google Support page mentions that Google Translate can be used
in other earphones that support Google Asistant's personal assistant
software technology on Android-based non-Pixel phones.

However, recently, the
official Google Support page mentions that Google Translate can be used
in other earphones that support Google Asistant's personal assistant
software technology on Android-based non-Pixel phones. "Google
Translate is available on all headphones of Android-based phones that
use Google Assistant." Google's official page said, the statement was
secretly changed by Google at the end of last week, after previously
saying "Google Translate on Google Pixel Buds is only available on Pixel
phones, "As summarized by KompasTekno from Droid Life, Tuesday (10/16/2018).
It should be added that the earphones used must support Google Assistant technology, as well as the smartphones used. In addition there must be an internet connection to run the translation. There is no list of earphones that can be used to translate interlocutors via Google Translate like Pixel Buds. Some
earphone models such as Sony 1000XM2 Bose QC35 II, LG Tone Platinum,
and JBL Everest 110GA are known to support Google Assistant and can be
tested.
How to translate?
The mechanism of use is fairly simple. First
of all - if using the Buds Pixel - touch and hold the earbud in the
right ear with your finger to call the Google Assistant. Next, instruct Google Assistant with voice to help translate the language. For example "Help me interpret Spanish" (help me translate Spanish).
The Assistant will then
run Google Translate in conversation mode with the requested language
translation mode (Spanish, in the example above) to the user's default
language. After that two actions can be done. The first is to translate words in the user's original language to be heard by the interlocutor in the language of translation.
How to do this, touch and hold the earbud right with your finger, then speak in the language listed below the headset icon. Release
the finger when it's finished and the cellphone will read the
translation result through the speaker so that the other person can hear
it.
The second action is to translate the words of the other person. To do this, press and hold the microphone button on the Google Translate application on the mobile. After hearing the bell, ask the conversation partner to start speaking in the language to be translated.
When finished,
release the finger from the microphone button, the audio in the language
of the translation will be played directly into the user's ear via the
earphone.
