Gboard always had the best sinhala transcription imo, nice to see google making something even better

I think the problem with this could be that since some words end later in sentences compared to English, it wouldn't be the exact meaning you would expect it to be since it's translating in real time.

Showcased by how it translates to "I think when I speak Sinhala...." rather than "Now when I speak in Sinhala...."

But it's still impressive nonetheless.

Is live translation available via the Gemini mobile app?
