We tested it by writing words unclearly in a few languages. This feature works well, even with unclear handwriting. The app will then translate the word or expression. You can now write words by hand directly onto the screen of your smartphone in the Google Translate app. Our next feature seems like it was created just for fun. To find the offline translation feature, just hit the settings image in the app. So look at the data plan for your device if you expect to download without Wi-Fi. The download for each language can be about 25 or 30 megabytes in size. To activate the service, you must first download the language with a Wi-Fi or cellular connection, so it's probably best to do this before traveling. Google Translate now offers users the ability to download a whole language for future use offline. If you have ever been to another country, you know how unpredictable a cellular or wireless connection can be.

We reported recently on Google Pixel Buds, which also translates spoken language. To use this feature, just touch the microphone image. You can even play pre-recorded audio or video close to the microphone and Google Translate will work fairly well. This feature works on both the smartphone app and the website. But it does not like when a speaker stops in the middle of a thought.

If your electronic device has a microphone, you can talk directly into it and the program will quickly begin translating several sentences. Google Translate now also translates whatever it hears. With one touch of your smartphone camera, Google Translate will translate typed or written words instantly.
