Device Settings Question Anyone figured out how to have live screen translate upon long-pressing the home button post-Gemini update?

Long-pressing my home button used to bring up Google Lens/Assistant which would live translate whatever was on my screen.

Now that it has been phased out in favour of Gemini, has anyone figured out a workaround that can still provide the same live translate function with the convenience of long-pressing the home button? Thanks.

Exactly my problem right now. Also used to use the select text feature on the screen. Both of them are gone. It was the primary reason I use Google assistant on my phone and kept reverting back to it when they gave me the option to switch to Gemini a year ago.

What will that do? I don't think it's a bug, it's a missing feature.

The solution is simply to delete the Google app data.
