Journalist Mishaal Rahman shared details on X (formerly Twitter) about how this feature works. By engaging the Circle to Search interface, users will notice a translate button at the screen's bottom right.

This allows for immediate text translations on the screen, with options to adjust the translation language easily accessible. The gradual rollout of this feature is set to expand over the coming weeks, aiming to enhance user experience by offering translations without the need to leave the current application.

This marks a significant leap in Google's multi-search capability, allowing for a more seamless exploration of web content. For those not equipped with Circle to Search, Google Lens remains an alternative for in-line translations, applicable to images and screenshots on the device.
