The Google Translate app it already allows you to acquire the image of a text from the camera and receive the translation in 36 languages. Today we take the application to the next level: it will be possible to translate a text, always from the camera, without even clicking.

With the new Google Translate app it will be enough to frame a sign with an inscription or a text and the translation will appear directly on the screen - even if there is no internet connection. This will make it much easier to decide what you want to order from a Barcelona restaurant menu.

The instant translation function is currently available to and from the English associated with the most popular languages (French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish). And we're already working on expanding the service to many more languages.
