Meta's Ray-Ban smart glasses now feature real-time translation for Spanish, French, and Italian. While the technology demonstrated promise in basic conversations, it faced challenges with complex speech patterns, slang, and rapid changes in language.
I was in middle school the last time I took a Spanish class. I remember enough for toddler talk — phrases like “Donde está el baño?” and “mi gato es muy gordo” — but having a meaningful conversation in Spanish without a translator is out of the question. So I was genuinely surprised the other day when, thanks to the Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses , I could have a mostly intelligible conversation with a Spanish speaker about K-pop.
In my family, we call it Konglish , and people slip in and out of each language, mixing and matching grammar that’s chaotic and functional. For example, my aunt will often speak several sentences in Korean, throw in two sentences in English, do another that’s a mix of Korean and English, and then revert to Korean. I had my conversation partner try something similar in Spanish and... the results were mixed. On the one hand, the glasses could handle short switches between languages.
