    So let me get this straight: Google killed the amazing feature of google translate that allowed it to translate stuff in other apps for being “intrusive” since it requires the “draw over other apps” permission, but now having some fucking AI rummage throughout the device is fine and dandy?

      Was that before they got rid of ‘don’t be evil’?

      I can translate text from the app switcher UI (overview?) so that feature definitely isn’t killed. I guess the recent AI push is to make it more proactive than something you have to actively do yourself.
