- Google is working on a new Pinned languages section for Google Translate.
- The feature would let users select up to 10 favorite languages for quick use.
- Our discovery of this feature follows other small tweaks aimed at improving Google’s translation app.
Google Translate is receiving plenty of love from its maker behind the scenes. As we’ve previously highlighted in our Authority Insights coverage, we uncovered evidence of Translate’s new look live conversations, a host of new widgets, and changes that would give more control over alternative translations to users. In line with that latter feature, we’ve now uncovered another Google Translate usability upgrade.

As part of our investigation into app version 10.8.48.878519627.2-release, Google Translate could soon allow users to pin their favorite or frequently used languages to the language selection page. While Translate does feature a “Recent languages” section that can list up to 9 languages at the top of the page, this is the limit; selecting more languages will remove some from this list. However, a new “Pinned languages” section lets users keep up to 10 languages permanently in view, above the “Recent languages” list.
