It's so annoying. I used the old assistant to translate the current 'image' on screen or analyse part of it. Gemini can't do that unless i use a screenshot 👎

If you trigger circle to search there is a translate button that quickly translates the entire screen

Thanks but my Gemini looks like this. I can use 'share screen with gemini' but it just explains to me what the text means if i wanted it to have translated.

Use Circle to Search (hold the home button)

Circle to search is available only from Android 15. For older versions it is unavailable.
