Alexa now provides automatic and instant translations in the US


Amazon now offers simultaneous translation of conversations into multiple languages via its smart assistant Alexa. — Amazon/AFP

Amazon has launched a new instant translation feature for its smart assistant Alexa. The tool allows two people to converse with each other in different languages, with translations displayed live on the Echo Show smart speaker screen. The service is being launched in the United States at the end of this year.

Just like any other request, to start, all you have to do is tell Alexa to translate what's coming next. Alexa is then able to automatically identify each spoken language and translate it onscreen for each speaker.
