The first version was launched in January It works like the browser version. “Google Translate is available as a free downloadable application for Android OS users. Upon highlighting text in an app that is in a foreign language, Translate will pop up inside of the app and offer translations.” Above from Wikipedia Mobile (per Wikipedia) On May 11, 2016, Google introduced Tap to Translate for Google Translate for Android. The application supports more than 90 languages and can translate 37 languages via photo, 32 via voice in conversation mode, and 27 via real-time video in augmented reality mode In January 2015, the application gained the ability to translate text in real time using the device's camera, as a result of Google's acquisition of the Word Lens app. Camera input is not available for all languages. Google Translate recognizes the text from the image using optical character recognition(OCR) technology and gives the translation. The 'Camera input' functionality allows users to take a photograph of a document, signboard, etc. In October 2011 it was expanded to 14 languages. This interface within Google Translate allows users to communicate fluidly with a nearby person in another language. “An early 2011 version supported Conversation Mode when translating between English and Spanish (in alpha testing). A number of Firefox extensions exist for Google services, and likewise for Google Translate, which allow right-click command access to the translation service.” Above from Wikipedia “Google Translate is available in some browsers as an extension which can run the translation engine. For some languages, text can be entered via an on-screen keyboard, handwriting recognition, or speech recognition.” Above from Wikipedia If a user enters a URL in the source text, Google Translate will produce a hyperlink to a machine translation of the website. If "Detect language" is selected, text in an unknown language can be identified. For some languages, Google Translate can pronounce translated text, highlight corresponding words and phrases in the source and target text, and act as a simple dictionary for single-word input.


(There is also a paid API version available.) As of October 2016, Google Translate supports 103 languages and serves over 200 million people daily.
