Google Translate is a free translation app from Google LLC. It runs on Android and iOS, and its official site is translate.google.com.
Reading a menu abroad, asking for directions or understanding a sign: Google Translate handles these in seconds. You can type, speak, or simply point your camera at the text.
What can Google Translate do?
- Text translation: Type or paste text and get a translation, with pronunciation you can listen to.
- Camera translation: Point your camera at a sign, menu or document and see the translation over the original text.
- Conversation mode: Speak in turns with someone, and the app translates each side out loud.
- Offline languages: Download language packs to translate without an internet connection.
- Phrasebook: Star translations you use often to find them quickly later.
Before you travel
- On many Android phones Google Translate is already installed; if not, get it from Google Play. On iPhone, install it from the App Store.
- Pick the two languages at the top of the screen; tap the arrows to swap them.
- Before a trip, download the offline languages you’ll need while you’re on Wi-Fi.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Google Translate work offline?
Yes. Download the languages you need in the app first; text and camera translation then work without a connection, though online results can be more accurate.
Can Google Translate translate a conversation?
Yes. Conversation mode listens to both speakers and reads each translation out loud.
