Android 12 L is based on all the new features of the latest Android version, but adds some changes and functions that are only intended for devices with a larger screen.

One example is the notification menu that appears when you swipe down from the top of the screen. With Android 12, quick settings and notifications are no longer displayed one below the other as usual, but side by side. The compatibility mode should automatically ensure that these applications will run more stable and look better in the future.

Google is donating a few updates to its AI translation tool, Cloud Translation. The goal is to simplify the translation service while at the same time increasing flexibility and control for individual customer orders, according to the Google Cloud blog.

In the future, the translation of documents in the original layout and formatting is to take place automatically, while previously the text modules had to be separated from the rest of the layout. Google's Translation API Advanced should be able to do this with the file formats .docx, .pptx, .xlsx and .pdf in more than 100 languages. Audio and video files, in turn, are translated by the Media Translation API or the Video Intelligence API.
