The app will recognize which language is being voiced and will translate it-out loud-into the other. Go into the app’s conversation mode, select the two languages you and your potential new friend are speaking, then talk into the microphone. One of my favorite things about traveling is the amazing people you meet, but if you don’t speak the language (and I don’t speak anything more than high-school French and various pleases and thank-yous), those interactions can be limited. Oh, and if you had an iPhone, you couldn’t use this Word Lens feature at all. This is much more efficient than the way the tool used to work, which required actually snapping the photo, highlighting the text with your finger, and then submitting it for translation. Need to translate that restaurant menu? Read wall text at a museum? Just point the app’s camera at the sign, and it’ll automatically translate it, showing an overlay of text right over the sign itself.
While several language packs were already available for offline use (saving you a bundle on data charges), now two of the app’s best features have been improved and also made available without any data or Internet connections. Grocery shopping for vegetarian food in Oslo? Not a problem.īut the app just got even better, thanks to a few cool upgrades released today. Need to find allergy medicine in Japan? Done. Google Translate has long been one my essential travel apps.
