Translate

Translate provides real-time translation for conversations across languages. The person wearing the glasses can view translations on the glasses or display both the original and translated text. The Even Realities App displays the original and translated text from both sides of the conversation, allowing the other person to follow along on the phone.

Start from the Even Realities App

  1. Open Translate in the Even Realities App.
  2. Select the translation languages:
    1. From: The language to be recognized.
    2. To: The language in which the translation will be displayed.
  3. Tap Start to begin translating.

Start with Even AI

You can ask Even AI to start Translate using a voice command such as:
“Hey Even, start Translate.”
“Hey Even, translate from Chinese to English.”

 

View translations on the glasses

Once translation begins, the translated content appears on the glasses.
Single-tap the TouchPad to switch between the following display modes:
  • Translation only: Displays the translation in a half-screen view.
  • Original + translation: Displays both the recognized original text and its translation in a full-screen view.
The glasses always display content in the input language → output language direction. Reverse-direction translations are not displayed.

View translations in the App

Once translation begins, the App displays the recognized original text and its translation in real time.
Use the options at the top of the page to select which content to view:
  • All: Displays all content from the current session.
  • Input language → output language: Displays only the original and translated text in this direction.
  • Output language → input language: Displays only the original and translated text from the reverse direction.
The page uses abbreviations for the selected languages to indicate the translation direction. For example, when Chinese and English are selected, it displays ZH→EN and EN→ZH.

Control an active translation session

  • Tap Pause to pause translation.
  • Tap End to end the translation session.

From the glasses

Open the Translate menu on the glasses to access the following options:

  • Display off: Turns off the glasses display while translation continues. Results still appear in the app.
  • Translate from: Changes the current input language.
  • Brightness: Adjusts the brightness of the glasses display.
  • End session: Ends the translation session.

You can also double-tap the TouchPad to open the exit confirmation. Confirm to end the translation session.

With Even AI

You can also end translation using the following voice command:

“Hey Even, end Translate.”

 

Change the voice input device

To change the voice input device, tap Settings in the upper-right corner of the Translate home page, then select:

  • Glasses: Uses the glasses' microphones to capture audio.
  • Phone: Uses the phone's microphone to capture audio. When using it for the first time, allow the Even Realities App to access your phone's microphone.

The voice input device must be selected before starting translation. When Translate is started from the glasses Menu, it uses the most recently selected setting.

 

Manage translation records

After each translation session ends, it is automatically saved under Translate > Records in the Even Realities App. Each record contains the complete original and translated text from the session.

You can perform the following actions:

  • View and sort: Sort records by creation date or name.
  • Rename: Change the title generated automatically by the system.
  • Export: Export a record as a PDF, DOCX, or TXT file.
  • Delete: Enter edit mode and select the records you want to delete.

 

Supported languages and limitations

Translate supports multiple input and output languages. Refer to the Even Realities App for the currently available options.

For details about supported languages for speech input, text output, and two-way translation, see languages supported by Translate.

  • Language pairs that support real-time two-way translation are marked with a bidirectional arrow.
  • Some languages support translation in only one direction.
  • If the selected language pair is not supported, the Start button becomes unavailable and Unsupported Language Pairs appears.
  • There is no time limit for an individual translation session. However, translation may be interrupted if the glasses or phone has insufficient battery or available memory.
