For a few months now, Google Translator has been one of the most complete and useful services when it comes to translate all kinds of signs, signs and other written text And it has been remarkably boosted since Google took over the company WordLens, which stood out for its application capable of translating and displaying text instantly on the screen, with the same font as the original.In other words, he used Augmented Reality to capture the translation on the original text so as not to lose not one iota of the meaning of the sign, text, menu or whatever it was that they wanted to translate. All this in addition to translations to use and even by voice. Something that is especially useful when traveling abroad But how to use this application when no Internet connection availableand you want to avoid roaming charges? We explain it below.
In addition to making it possible to translate practically simultaneously, Google has worked to allow the user to use this resource even when no internet access Most convenient for travellers All you have to do is make sureFirst download the language pack from which you want to translate, as well as your own language in order to take advantage of this technology.
You just have to access the application and click on the three dots that display the menu Settings, thus accessing the section Manage offline languages.
At this point the entire list of languages available in Google Translate is displayed. And, next to them, a download button that allows any of them to be stored in the terminal's memory.
Thus, it is enough to take into account the language that will be used the most when you are offline, always keeping in mind that the language packs require a good pinch of space inside the terminal's memory We must not lose sight of the need to also download Spanish as a language to be able to use it.
With all this, all that remains is to return to the main screen of Google Translator and select the input and output language (the language to be translated and the native language) to use your translation regularly. It doesn't matter if it's entering the text manually, typing it in the box to get the translation at the bottom or, using the surprising way of translation through the camera, previously commented.
Of course, if you use the simultaneous translation through the mobile camera, you have to know that, for the moment, you can only translate from English, French , Italian, Portuguese, German and Russian into Spanish, and vice versa Thus, only texts printed in these languages can be simultaneously recognized and translated to be displayed on the screen.
