This instant translation currently works for translation from English to and from French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Russian and Spanish, and we’re working to expand to more languages. While using the Translate app, just point your camera at a sign or text and you’ll see the translated text overlaid on your screen-even if you don't have an Internet or data connection.
It permits complete language combination, so you can freely choose any. Now, we’re taking it to the next level and letting you instantly translate text using your camera-so it’s way easier to navigate street signs in the Italian countryside or decide what to order off a Barcelona menu. Google Translate can translate voice, text and images for over 100 different languages. The Translate app already lets you use camera mode to snap a photo of text and get a translation for it in 36 languages. We’ve updated the Translate app on Android and iOS to transform your mobile device into an even more powerful translation tool.
Now Google Translate can be your guide in new ways. If you've ever asked for 'pain' in Paris and gotten funny looks, confused 'embarazada' with 'embarrassed' in Mexico, or stumbled over pronunciation pretty much anywhere, you know the feeling.
Often the hardest part of traveling is navigating the local language.
