I just bought Galaxy Buds 3 to use with Interpreter on my S25 Ultra, but I wonder what I'm doing wrong.
In Conversation Mode, I have to hit the foreign speaker microphone icon to start listening. Translation doesn't start until the speaking stops. It seems to take a while. I then have to hit the play icon below the translated text to hear the spoken translation. Then I have to hit the lower microphone or earbud icon to speak. My speech is immediately translated & spoken through the phone, but I have to hit the top microphone icon before the foreign person starts speaking again.
My friend's Apple Airbuds allow for the conversation to flow freely without stopping to press play and listen buttons.
Can Samsung's Interpreter function as fluidly? Am I doing something wrong?

Thank you for reaching out, Members_SDhy8aa. I can certainly understand the confusion with your Interpreter in Conversation Mode not functioning fluidly. After testing on my device, I have few questions to make sure we can resolve your symptoms:
1. Are you entering interpreter mode by pulling down from the top and selecting interpreter from the quick settings?
2. Are you using conversation mode when using the interpreter function?
3. When you click the 3 lines in the top right corner, click on the gear in the top let corner of the features that just popped up, do you have the tap to talk feature turned on? When tap to talk is turned off, you should only have to press the microphone once at the beginning of the conversation to be able to speak back and forth.

Hi Adam,
Today the Interpreter is working better. I can now tap the buds icon once to start talking, and it will allow 1 translation (into Japanese), and allow 1 reply to me, before "going to sleep". After that, I have to tap the buds icon again to resume. Not perfect, but I can live with this.

Hi, I've been going thru allot of Steps & searches to fix this on mY Ultra 25S & Buds Pro 3. So there's a problem that I found & also re[ported to Samsung support. To get the Interpeter app & Buds 3 to read outl oad the translation in Conaversation Mode split screen to get it to work you have to go into bluetooth setting while your buds are either in your ear or the case being open, they have to be connecetd to your phone, Click on buds 3 pro, click on Gear , click on manage connection, turn off swithc on Calls. Interpeter will now read outloud your trans lation & you'll hear the other person translation in your Buds. But now your Buds won't connect to Phone Calls Unless you go turn the calls switch back on. Somewhere in all the UI9 Changes or bluthooth upgrades the Intergration of Bluetooh & Buds & Phone & Iterpeter app got lost! I haave to Support Feed backs reporting this to samsung they are both in Review status. But They are the ones who have to fix this problem!
When I first got my S25 Ultra & Buds 3. You Did not have to do this & they worked fine But in last 2 months some thing Samsung did Chaanged that, I do Not know if it was a update to Interpeter app, Buds or UI9 update, Kinda a hazzel to use Interepter app but & have to turn offcalls in buds setting the go back & trun on if you want calls. Hopefully there be a fix coming soon! I travel allot & use this allot & when it's working it's a Great Tool!!!!
