Google Translate is a very useful application, especially
when you have to go to other countries for business purposes. You only need to
direct the smartphone's camera to translate text on various objects instantly,
ranging from signs in the street to the menu in the restaurant.
Instant Translation feature was previously limited only for
a few languages. But in its latest update, Google Translate has now added
support for 20 new languages. So now in total there are 27 languages that can
be translated instantly.
Interestingly, this Instant Translation can work offline by
downloading the language pack for each language that measuring about 2 MB. It
is important because we are not always able to get internet access when going
abroad.
In the same occasion, voice translation feature of Google
Translate now can also be effectively used when the Internet connection is
slow. This increase is crucial because not all regions have the same network
quality.
Google Translate version 4.0.0 is now available on Google Play and the App Store.
