Google Translate

Translate text, speech and images

Google Translate helps people understand and communicate across languages. Type or paste text for a translation, use the microphone for spoken input, or point the camera at text such as a sign or menu. You can also translate text in a photo. These options make the app useful for travellers, students, and anyone who regularly reads or exchanges messages in another language.

Choose an input that fits

Alongside typed text, the app supports handwriting and spoken conversation. Its transcription feature can translate longer stretches of speech, which may help when following a talk or discussion. For text inside other apps, Tap to Translate can provide a translation after you copy a passage, without requiring you to retype it in Google Translate.

Use translations away from a connection

Language packs can be downloaded for offline use, so selected translations remain available when mobile data or Wi-Fi is not. This can be handy when travelling or dealing with unreliable coverage. Offline availability depends on the language pack, and translated text may not capture every nuance or context, so check important wording before relying on it.

Play Store details
