In addition, what’s interesting about this feature, users can only translate between English into other languages, but now can translate to more than 100 languages on Google Translate. That is, users can translate from Arabic to French or Japanese to Mandarin, and so on.
When traveling abroad, especially in areas with diverse languages, it might be difficult for someone to determine the language that needs to be translated. However, the latest version of Google Translate can choose Detect Language as the source language and the application automatically detects that language and translates it.
For example, traveling through South America, where Portuguese and Spanish are used, and the user encounters a sign. Google Translate can determine what language is entered, then translate it into the chosen language.
Most languages can be downloaded to the device, so users can use the feature without an internet connection. However, when the device is connected to the internet, the feature will use the connection to produce translations with better quality. Google Translate comes with a new look with three camera translation features located at the bottom of the Google Translate application. First Instant translates foreign text when the user points the camera in that direction.
Both features are Scan, which allows taking photos and using your finger to highlight the text you want to translate. And thirdly Import which allows users to translate text from photos on camera roll.
For the first time Google implemented Neural Machine Translation (NMT) technology in instant camera translation. That way, this application is able to produce more accurate and natural translations to reduce errors 55 – 58% in certain languages.
Most languages can be downloaded to the user’s device so they can use this feature without an internet connection. However, when the user’s device is connected to the internet, this Google translate feature will use that connection to produce better quality translations.
