Google Translate Rolls Out Auto-Save Transcripts for Live Translate
The feature arrives in Google Translate version 10.39.34.995726622.4, but saving stays off when XR smart glasses are connected.
Google has begun rolling out an auto-save transcript option for Live Translate in Google Translate, according to Android Authority. The feature ships in version 10.39.34.995726622.4 of the app.
The option was previously spotted as an "Auto-save transcript" toggle in Live Translate settings, then limited to mobile users. With the rollout, that behavior reaches the stable release.
Transcript saving will be completely disabled when smart glasses are connected and in use. The restriction applies only to those sessions; on phones, transcripts can be saved automatically.
On smart glasses, users will be able to start a translation with a voice command, while a swipe on the touchpad ends the session.
Earlier work on the feature
In September 2026, Google Translate was reported to be testing an auto-save option for Live Translate transcripts as a mobile-only feature, with saving planned to be blocked when translation ran through XR smart glasses. The company has also added background translation capabilities and prepared Android XR-specific listening boundaries.
