[Q] A way to use google translate with a phone call? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, I was toying around with google translate voice and have been pretty impressed that I can (clearly) say something then have it translate into another language. Since I work abroad quite often and sometimes get phone calls where at least some assistance with google translate would be really useful.
Is there a way that i can, in more or less real time, have words/sentences being spoken by someone on the other end of a phone call be translated using google translate? (just for clarification, if google translate was able to just take what was being said on the line, and then translate it to text that would be enough; i am not necessarily hoping [yet] for it to translate something someone says into spoken english as someone else speaks another language).
Any ideas would really be appreciated!
Cheers,
-Gaiko

[Q] Google voice typing doesn't get accentuation signs

Hi!
I love how neatly Google Voice Typing works for English. But when I try to dictate on my native language, Spanish, it won't recognize commands such as "question mark", "comma", or things like that. If I say them in Spanish, it will write the whole thing, ie: "Signo de exclamación"...I just want it to be able to transcribe it to a "!" sign, a "?", etc. I also attempted to say them in English (while dictating Spanish), it will just get confused.
Do you guys know what's going on? How could I fix this? I have a Galaxy S2 running Resurrection Remix v1.8 (ICS 4.0.4).
After a few months, I still couldn't figure this one out. Could somebody help me?
Thank you!

How to keep google voice search in english, But phone in another laanguage?

Title is exactly what Im trying to do.
I have a GNex. But have my phone in German.
Because of this Google Search and Google Now are also in german.
And Google voice no longer talks back to me
Even though I have changed my setting(or so I think) to english.
Google Now still defaults to giving me search results for google.de
Is there a way I can keep my phone in german, but have my voice search talk and answer in english?

Honestly that is rather impossible to do and still be legible and quick. Japanese syntax is not the same as English nor is it something that can always just be reworked via algorithm into english. Plus the system resources would be a HOG.
Honestly, this question shows a major ignorance of how different languages work, especially asian ones. You can't just hold up a book or an app and say "I want this in english" and it magically transform. Context cannot be divined by an app, and context is key.
So, short answer: Learn Japanese, more likely to get you what you want.

[Q] Google Offline Voice to Text Issues - Bug

Hello there,
So as I didn't find any threads pertaining to Google Offline Voice to Text issues, I thought 'Great, I'm the one online with this kind of problem, there is probably an easy fix'
Setting: Google Offline Voice to Text, text messaging. Trilingual French English German. OS set up for Canada, English (For software I prefer the English interface for its greater practicality and generally greater usefulness).
Situation: when using Google Voice to create texts, no matter what language is selected, it always reverts to English. I click on the language selection, select French, start talking and hear the voice recognition immediately reverting back to English. If I reselect it again, it sticks, until I stop and restart it and then it's the same aggravation again.
It does not matter what language is selected on the keyboard. It ALWAYS goes back to English, as if selecting another language was an error.
Is there something I can do to work around this aggravation? It's already very poor at recognizing French as it is... English works great, but French is horrible. And I'm a native French Speaker!
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I have to go now but will be back at the end of the day. Thanks in advance for your help!

International versions ship with Google Assistant.
So,set that up & perhaps you can enable the phone to unlock by voice/OK Google.
Lots of good people here who are willing to help,should you need it.
Enjoy the new phone! :good:
thank you. will definitely try this method tonight to see how well it goes.. google play comes stock on it and all apps from the market works without the need for sideload.
So i was able to set the assistant to unlock the screen.. the mandarin word is pronounced pretty close to "soo-soo" when you say it drawn out.. its sufficent for me as i did not want face unlock and to constantly tap to awaken.. the google assistant did not work as you cant move (ollie assistant ) from default.. thank you again greatly..
