 Good evening, how may I assist you? Ah, hello, is there a casino or restaurant I can go to? Oh, I apologize. Okay Google, Chinese interpreter. Ready when you are. Hey, it's Shannon with The Verge, and we're here to check out Google Assistant's new interpreter mode, which can translate 27 languages in real time. This could be a real game changer for concierges or anyone who wants to speak to somebody else who doesn't share the same language, if it works. Luckily, we're here at the concierge desk, so let's check it out. Okay, let's start. How may I assist you? How can I help you? Hello, I'm looking for a casino or restaurant. Hello, I want to find a float field and restaurant here. Restaurant? Restaurant? Restaurant? Yes, I want to find a restaurant here. It's May. I'm sorry, I don't understand. I want to find a restaurant here. I want to eat something. I want to find a restaurant here to eat some food. What type of cuisine would you like to have? What type of food do you want? What type of dishes? I want to eat steak. Is there any western dish? I'm allergic to shrimp. I want to eat western food with steak. I'm a little allergic to sand. We have a lot of great options here on property. What type would you like? We have a lot of great options here. Thank you. Thank you. Great, you are confirmed. So we just tried out the Google Assistant Interpreter mode. It works pretty well. You do have to pause a lot to wait for the translation to happen. So if you partially understand the other language, you can't just interrupt somebody in the middle and say, Hey, I do know what you're saying. Let me just keep talking. Because then the translation is interrupted, it doesn't work. How may I assist you? He's waiting for it to translate. Sorry, let me do that again. Sorry, I forgot to pause. And it actually works pretty well. At one point I thought I was allergic to sand and not shrimp, which might be problematic for tourists coming by. But for the most part, it's pretty fluid. I would say the translation has been pretty good. The new interpreter mode will be piloting today at hotel concierge desks in New York, San Francisco, and here in Las Vegas. I thought it was pretty funny. I was like, I'm allergic to sand, and then I don't know how he's going to deal with it.
