I hope this catches on and can be transplanted into any LLM soon. Instant voice integration is poised to unlock many UX things like auto-pilot in cars making you a real powerful co-pilot where you can suggest fine-tune settings on the fly for the current situation or anything that changes lots of settings at once with visual feedback.

Cannot wait for an instant translator. Something that can translate synchronously (!) one language it hears into a language that I understand. Getting closer!

I don't understand how that could possibly work. You will always need some time window, don't you? Also sometimes the translation of the first word can only be inferred when you process the last word in a sentence (simplified example).

You mean the job of a translator is by definition impossible?

Edit: Yes, for sure there will be a delay of a few words or even one or two short sentences. Just like human translators. Not a problem I think.

Edit 2: Very curious why my first comment was downvoted?

Obviously translation is possible but not "synchronously" as you wish. From what I understand 200ms is "time-to-first-token", so I still wonder how that works because, as I wrote in my comment above, typically there is no one-to-one correspondence of words/tokens from one language to another.
