    A traditional two-way radio can’t translate languages. It carries voice on a radio frequency and nothing more, so a message spoken in Spanish arrives in Spanish. A smart radio with built-in AI translation can. It works as a radio language translator: workers talk in their own language, and each listener hears and reads the message in theirs.

    What’s the difference between a translation radio and a translation app?

    Translation apps run on phones, which many sites restrict on the floor, and they usually translate one conversation at a time. A translation radio builds translation into push-to-talk, so it covers a whole channel at once. Workers keep their hands on the job instead of holding a phone up to each other.
