Google Translate Updated With Improvements in 40 Languages
The last 24 hours have seen a flurry of updates from Google on their Android apps. Google Photos, Google Play Music, Google Chrome and Google+ have all been updated in the last 24 hours and the latest to be added to that list is Google Translate. For those who are not familiar with the app, Google Translate allows you to convert spoken or written text from one language to another. It supports over 90 languages and is the closest thing to the Star Trek Universal Translator available today. Simply speak to your phone in your native tongue and it is translated to your audience’s tongue and scarily accurate. Or if you see a sign in one language but need it in your native language, point your camera at it and it will magically appear in your native language on your phone’s screen.
Now Google has smoothed out 40 of those conversations in this update to Google Translate while also improving the accessibility features of the app. The update is version 4.0.0.RC08.99220384 for those keeping score at home and it is available for free now in the Google Play Store.
