Google has released yet another update for its official Translate app for the Android devices. The new update for the Google Translate brings image translation to the Android platform. Besides that, the app also brings instant translation of words as you type. With support for more Asian languages, the new Google Translate is one of the must have applications when you are travelling to any new place.Google Translate helps one translate words and phrases of the language they do not know to their own language. The app offers text to speech and speech to text options to enable a conversation between people speaking two different languages.
The image reading feature will work with all languages that are available via Translate and allow users to highlight relevant text from the photo for conversion.
Using the app on your phone will allow you to take a picture, then swipe gestures to highlight the text needed to be translated. The cropped image is then sent to Google's servers where it is sent back translated.
The only catch is that you must select the language, since Google cannot auto-detect it.
