The first of two Super Bowl spots from Google focused not on a phone or another new product but Google Translate, the company’s 12-year-old multilingual machine-translation service.

In a series of vignettes occurring in several different languages around the world, the ad illustrates how Google’s classic service brings strangers and loved ones together through shared experiences like dining, worship and sports.
