To begin with, let's talk about the ways in which we can make a translation quickly from within of the app itself. And it is not always necessary to write in the text box all of what we want to translate. There are slightly faster ways.
By clicking on the microphone icon, we can dictate the word or text we want to translate. This is usually faster than entering text on the keyboard. Especially when trying to translate a spoken conversation, this is probably the fastest way to do it.
Another interesting option is the camera button Through it, we can directly translate any text that we have written. We just have to press the camera icon and point to the text we want to translate. Instantly we will have a fully translated text into the language we want. This is especially handy when we want to read a book in another language, as copying an entire text into the search box can take enormous amounts of time. But it is also a very practical function when we are traveling and we want to automatically translate a sign.
How to use Google Translate widgets
Another way to translate quickly is to learn how to use Google Translate widgets The app has recently launched two new widgets that can help us carry out our translations quickly, without having to enter the app.The first of them is the saved translations, in which we can retranslate those words that we had previously translated. And the other one is called Quick Actions, and it will allow us to access the main functions with just one touch.
To place the widgets we will have to have clean space on the home screen. Then we will have to place them in the part of the screen that we want.
Once you have them in place, it won't be difficult for you to learn how to use them, since they are very simple and intuitive. All you have to do is press the button that corresponds to the action you want to perform, and you will have the possibility of translating whatever you want in the palm of your hand. Widgets are still one of the most unknown elements of Android, but the reality is that they can be very useful.
How to do translations without opening the Google Translate application
Many times the fastest way to change languages is to learn how to do translations without opening the Google Translate application Widgets that we have just discussed are one of the most comfortable options. But there are other possibilities that can also be interesting.
Thus, the Google Assistant also allows us to translate. We just have to activate it and tell it "how to say X in English" and the assistant will translate for you in a matter of seconds. Although it is not very practical if what we need is to translate a long text, when we simply need to know how a word is said in a certain language it can be a very simple way.
It is also possible to translate directly from Google Chrome When the browser detects that we have entered a website in a language other than the default, we a button appears asking us if we want to translate.We just have to press it and we will have the translated website.
