- Apple Music translation and pronunciation now available for Android
- Also available in iOS 26
- Machine translation with a screen tap
This summer, Apple added translation and karaoke features to the Apple Music iOS / iPados application which are particularly excellent for songs in non-Latin alphabet languages, such as J-Pop and K-Pop. And now, the features have made their way to the Android version of the application.
The features are called lyrical translation and lyrical pronunciation respectively, and you will find them when you press the icon of the lyrics of the song you listen to. This gives you three choices:
- Show translation, which, as you expect, shows the translated words;
- Pronouncement of purple, which shows the phonetic pronunciation of words;
- And Hide Original, which hides the version in the original language of the lyrics so that you can focus on translation or pronunciation.
Why the new Android features of Apple Music are exciting
I have been fascinated by changing tastes of listening to world music since the early 2000s, Japanese and Korean pop in particular becoming extremely popular in the world. For those of us who do not speak the original languages, being able to see the words translated into our language is a really fun functionality – and probably funny, because the pop lyrics are often terrible, regardless of the country from which they come.
More practically, these features are ideal for people who learn languages: I know more French people from Vanessa Paradis Joe the Taxi And in plastic Bertrand It plane pour me that I have never learned in a classroom, because learning by pop is fun, and songs remain in your brain in the same way as lessons do not do it.
It also gives Apple an advantage over rivals such as Spotify, much of which J-Pop content is locked by the region. Apple is good enough for Global Pop, with a decent discovery through its pop reading lists-a member of the Techradar team said that Apple music was the “upset” platform for J-Pop Now (he is young), between his very superior library and this new guide to sing with confidence.
Apple Music’s translation and pronunciation features are available in Apple Music on iOS / iPados 26 and version 5 of Apple Music for Android, which takes place now.
