The prompt works with any language and the Listen or Read Aloud option works well for English, Spanish and Italian, but not for Catalan, but there are workarounds.
Here are some that I have tried with Catalan:
- If you are using the Edge browser, you can block some text and using right-click you can choose More tools, and Read aloud selection
- If you are using the Edge browser on an Android phone you block the text, touch the three vertical dots and choose Read aloud
- If you are using the Gemini app on your mobile phone, you can block the text, choose Share and choose (Google) Translate. Then touch the Speaker icon
- If you are using the Chrome browser on a PC, you can block some text and choose Open in reading mode. I had to choose Català from the Voice selection icon
- If you are using the Chrome browser on an Android phone, you can block some text, touch the three vertical dots and choose Translate and then touch the Speaker icon
Similar workarounds can be used on an iPad, and although my
iPad didn’t offer translation from Catalan, so couldn’t read Catalan aloud,
copying and pasting into Google Translate worked perfectly
I cannot say how well Listen or Read
Aloud works with other languages but the same workarounds may work.
If you try it I would love to hear about how well it worked.
