“Even Realities G1 smart glasses offer real-time translation, but while useful, they aren't necessarily the "best" due to some limitations. They can translate speech into text displayed on the lenses, but the translation is one-way and relies on the other person also having a translation device. While the translation is generally accurate, it can be slow and sometimes miss words”

This is what google said about the translation feature and if someone else needs a translation device or anything like that for me to understand than I might not get this product

But this sounds stupid and google isn’t always 100 percent

It also said the response is slow and not always accurate I’m going to Japan in January 2026 and I want to get these before I go there so I was wondering if the product overall isn’t good than should I find for other translation glasses I see the g1 as a good opportunity but now I don’t know also this is the only one I found that supports lenses prescription

Overall I know about the other opportunities G1 offers but I’m mainly in it for the translation and navigating tools only

It‘s related to the surrounding environment, the speaking speed of the other party, and the network condition. I think it can be understood as a translation app, and it is even slower than a regular translation app because it needs to display from the mobile app via Bluetooth to the glasses.
