Earlier, you had to select the source language and the language you wanted to translate the text in manually. With the new update, you can point the camera to a sign, and the Translate app will automatically detect the language. To use that feature, you have to select “Detect language” as the source language. Google has also refreshed the interface and placed instant, scan, and import features at the bottom for easier access.
The company has also added support for 60 languages including Arabic, Hindi, Malay, Thai, and Vietnamese. Now, you can translate 88 languages into more than 100 languages. You can check out the full list of supported languages here. The update also brings Neural Machine Translation (NMT) technology that speeds up translations and produces more accurate results: The app update will also reduce text flicker on the screen to make it easier to understand translations. This is a pretty cool update that improves translation experience both in terms of speed and accuracy.
