The search giant is releasing a new version of its Google Translate app that translates billions of words a day. The latter now supports 13 new languages with visual translation. These are the following languages: Arabic, Punjabi, Bengali, Vietnamese, Thai, Gujarati, Kannada, Nepali, Tamil, Telugu, Hindi, Telugu and Malayalam. There is talk of currently supporting no less than 50 languages that can be translated visually.
With this new update, Google Translate can now translate 13 new languages with the photo sensor of smartphones.
For access to visual translation, go to the app and then the home page and press the icon that represents a camera. A message invites you to place text in a specific area by moving your smartphone to point it in the correct axis of the photo sensor. Google Translate then scans the text items to translate them. A very practical tool for translating a restaurant menu, for example during your stay abroad. Especially since Google Translate also works offline.
The rollout of this update is currently in progress. But it can spread over several days, if you don’t see any change on your part, you need to be patient. This seems to be happening on the server side. The update affects both Android and iOS. Google Lens also benefits from a similar translation feature. Do you use Google Translate regularly?
