There’s a good news for the users of Android Wear
smartwatch. Google has just released a software update for Android Wear, and
this update includes two new features: Interactive Watch Face and Google
Translate integration.
What is the Interactive Watch Face? Basically, this feature
is designed so that users can more easily access information and communicate by
using their smartwatches. So, with just one tap, the Wach Face can change appearance,
provide more detailed information or even open a particular application.
There are three Interactive Watch Faces that could be used:
Bits, Under Armour and Together. Bits is suitable for users who want to get
important information such as the next agenda or the weather forecast. Under
Armour is designed for the sports fans, whereas Together allows two users to
share photos or emoji directly through the Watch Face.
At the same time, the latest update of Android Wear also
presents integration of Google Translate - Google apparently doesn't want to
lose from Microsoft that had launched the Microsoft Translator application for
Android Wear.
But interestingly, you can still use Google Translate on
Android Wear even if you don't install the application on a smartphone, or when
your smartwatch is not connected to the smartphone. As long your smartwatch is
connected to Wi-Fi network and the internet, Google Translate is ready to
translate up to 90 languages.
Google Translate in Android Wear can also translate a conversation
in two different languages directly. In total there are 44 languages that can
be translated into this conversation mode.
