The recent launch of the new series of smartphones Galaxy S24 has opened up a host of new connectivity possibilities thanks, among other things, to the development of Galaxy AI. One of these new possibilities is to break down language barriers through the new Galaxy Buds 2, the headphones that translate languages at the same time.
It seems like magic, but technology makes it possible for the impossible to become reality. In this post we are going to review this latest and surprising update for Samsung wireless headphones, how they work and how they can help us communicate in other languages.
The new simultaneous translation function comes as an effective solution to situations in which we find ourselves a little lost. It has happened to all of us: not being able to follow a conversation because we don't know the language or we don't have enough knowledge of it. Now, the freal-time translation functions of Galaxy S24 series mobiles They allow us to talk and understand each other with anyone and anywhere. Samsung also ensures that this barrier-free communication is further improved using the Galaxy Buds.
This is just one of the many new features that the latest update of the Korean brand's headphones brings, although it is undoubtedly the most striking of all.
Samsung's new translation tools
The presentation of the Samsung Galaxy S24 has brought, among many other things, a series of powerful tools focused on voice and text translation. First of all, we have live translate, capable of performing instant text and voice translations on calls. A translation that works in both directions and in real time.
To use this function you need to have a network connection and log in to Samsung Account. The privacy of conversations is guaranteed. The available languages are: German, Chinese, Korean, Spanish, French, Hindi, English, Italian, Japanese, Polish, Portuguese, Thai and Vietnamese.
On the other hand, there is the app Interpreter, which we can use to translate to ourselves and other people to try to have a conversation. To improve the experience and make it more effective, we will be able to choose the style and speed of the voice.
Galaxy Buds 2 news
The possibilities that these tools offer us multiply when we use them through the Galaxy Buds, which also translate languages. The key is that, during the conversation, the sound is isolated.
In this way, we can listen to the translations through our headphones, while the other person can listen to the original audio through the speaker of their own phone. Without a doubt, this It will help us feel part of the conversation and eliminate the need to hand our device from one human interpreter to another. In other words: the simultaneous translation will reach the user's ear through the headphones, without intermediaries.
And not only that. In addition, we will have the option to change the order of the conversation simply by clicking on the headphones, without having to access your phone to do so.
Other more specific advantages of using the latest version of the Samsung Buds must also be mentioned. For example, the incorporation of the 360 Audio function (previously compatible with phones, tablets and PCs) which will now also be available for select Samsung TVs. Or compatibility with Auracast for phones and the option of Auto Switch multipoint connectivity (similar to Fast Pair of Google).
Important: Simultaneous translation will only work if the Galaxy Buds headphones are paired with a Samsung mobile. Does not work with devices from other brands.
Devices receiving the update
These are the versions of Samsung's wireless headphones that will be updated with all these new translation functions based on artificial intelligence technologies:
- Galaxy Buds 2 Pro.

All these devices can be managed through the app GalaxyWear from Samsung (a renewed and improved version of the previous Galaxy Wearable), which will also be presented this year. It is an application specially designed to manage the options of smart watches, wireless headphones and other Samsung devices to get the most out of them.
Conclusion
Technology makes our world change at full speed. Speed that is going to be accelerated dramatically due to AI. The result of this is that horizons that seemed impossible just a few years ago are now a reality.
It may be an exaggeration to say that with integrated translation systems, like the one we present in this post regarding the Galaxy Buds, the need to learn new languages has ended. No, it's not like that. However, it is undeniable that it is a technology that breaks language barriers and that is offered to us with endless practical applications. And this is just the beginning. We are still going to see many new wonders.
