TranslateGemma: Open Translation Models (Jan 2026)
Google introduces TranslateGemma, a new suite of open translation models based on Gemma 3, available in 4B, 12B, and 27B parameter sizes.
Key Highlights: • Supports 55 languages with high-quality translation across high-, mid-, and low-resource languages • Exceptional efficiency: 12B model outperforms 27B baseline on WMT24++ benchmark • Built using two-stage fine-tuning process distilling knowledge from Gemini models • Retains strong multimodal capabilities (can translate text within images) • Trained on nearly 500 additional language pairs for research adaptation • Designed for diverse deployment environments from mobile to cloud
The models achieve state-of-the-art performance while maintaining exceptional efficiency, making high-quality translation accessible across different devices and use cases.

The combination of Gemini Nano (Google's AI model) and the Tensor G5 chip (Google's AI processor), built into the Pixel 10 (Google's Smartphone), provides Google with a strong foundation to continue pushing the limits of edge AI → 🔮Magic Cue.
Magic Cue digs through your device (Gmail, Calendar, Messages, Photos, screenshots, notes, and more) to surface what’s useful at that moment.
