Google Translate can now visually translate more than 50 languages

According to the latest news, the Google Translate app will be capable of visually translating 13 new languages by using the camera on your smartphone.

In 2015, Google added the visual translation feature to the Translate app with the support of 27 different languages. It allows users to translate dinner menus and signs in real time, making communicating abroad much easier. This week’s announcement puts the total number of supported languages close to 50.

Users can access the feature in the Translate app by navigating to the camera icon on the home screen. The app will then prompt you to line up the text you’re attempting to translate and take a photo. After that, the app will scan the text with the use of Neural Machine Translation, which will then provide a translation into the language of your choice. But the translation is not 100% correct.

With Google Translate app, you will never be afraid of communicating with foreigners or ordering food in a foreign restaurant.
