PSA - Language barrier? The app is your friend, a real translator. Tried it, and my last Latina session was much better than before. Amazing AI today! LOL

Why bother with Gemini?

and find out for yourself. As a bonus, the real-time voice translation can be set to your liking.

And how much is retained for ongoing training or just the usual Google data mining use? What controls are present on that?

As an insider I can confirm that your data is being used for training unless your paying for a subscription. Tbh Google already has most of your data anyway so it's not that big of a deal.

I use Google Translate and see no need for anything else since it works so well.
