One UI 6.1 made its debut with the Galaxy S24 series, and starting today, Samsung is rolling it out to many high-end smartphones and tablets. One of the highlights of the software customization is Ciricle to Search, which allows you to research anything on the display by drawing a circle around the object. While the feature is still new, Google is already upgrading it with a very useful functionality. The company has announced that in the coming weeks, Circle to Search will be able to translate content on the screen.
To access this feature, you’ll have to long-press on the home button or the navigation bar to bring up Circle to Search and tap the translate icon. After that, Circle to Search will automatically detect the language of the content on the display and translate it to your preferred language. You don’t even have to draw a circle around it. For example, if you open a PDF file of a hotel’s menu that’s in Japanese, you can summon Circle to Search, tap the translate icon, and it will convert the language of the menu to English.
Currently, if you want to translate content that’s on the display (say a PDF file of a menu), you have to take a screenshot, head to Google Translate, and select that image. The app will then detect the language in the image and convert it to your preferred language. As you can see, this process requires you to not only capture a screenshot but also switch applications (exit from the PDF viewer and then go to Google Translate). With Circle to Search offering the translation feature, you won’t have to do any of that.
