Google tweeted: Google Translate picked up a Material You-themed redesign

We've known that Google Translate was working on its own Material You-themed widgets for a few months, but Google just tweeted out formal confirmation for what at least one of them will look like. It doesn't seem to be widely available yet, but we have to assume a rollout is imminent in the context of the announcement.

Google Translate picked up a Material You-themed redesign late last year, but its "widget" didn't get the same treatment — if we can really even call the single-language-pair shortcut that it offered via the widget menu before that. In February, two new widgets for the app were spotted in development: a Saved Translations widget that lets you view recent translations and a Translate Quick Actions widget that offered shortcuts to features like voice translation, conversation mode, and camera-based translations, with options changing dynamically based on size.

We aren't sure if both of the two previously discovered widgets are rolling out as part of today's announcement, but the Google Twitter account tweeted out confirmation of the Translate Quick Actions widget, indicating that it should be available soon:

Testing on my own devices, I haven't been able to trigger the new Google Translate widget, even with the latest version of the app. The widget(s) may require an even newer version that's still rolling out or there might be a server-side feature flag component that Google has to finish deploying widely first.
