- dvngnt_ 3y agonot entirely true. translation is done on device
- adamzochowski 3y agoNot entirely true either. If it thinks it has network but it's flakey, it won't translate offline, it will say there is network error and will give you a button to retry. No button to do offline. Additionally, in airplane mode it heavily doesn't want to translate, in my use case I have to go to saved translations as otherwise it won't even let me type what I need to translate.
- kimixa 3y agoI just tried airplane mode on my pixel 7 pro and it seemed to be able to translate from the camera without problems It doesn't seem to do it "live" in the preview without network access, though. And the translation app seemed to get into a bad state and fail to download the language packs without first clearing the data, saying I need to download the pack, but the language list showing it already was. Though I haven't even opened it since I transferred it from my old phone, so if there's some phone-specific stuff going on that might have got messed up.
- numpad0 3y agoPixel 8 / Tensor G3 specifically is rumored to have a performance or heat issue. The scope of that rumored issue is limited to that generation.
