Google built a portable AI translator that works offline, and you can build one too
Showcasing Gemma's offline, on-device capabilities.
Google engineers have developed an AI translator capable of functioning without an internet connection, thanks to the Gemma 4 E4B model operating on a Raspberry Pi 5. This innovative translator features a touchscreen display, a push-to-talk button, and a knob for selecting languages. The project's code and 3D-printing files are accessible on GitHub, enabling anyone to construct their own offline AI translator.
The Gemma models developed by Google are highly proficient, offering a tangible demonstration of their capabilities. Utilizing Google Antigravity for development purposes, the team constructed a 3D-printed enclosure housing the electronics, which includes a display for displaying translated text, a microphone, a speaker, a push-to-talk button, and a knob for language selection.
