Translate - Translator

Offline translation is the feature that decides whether a translator is useful abroad. Roaming data is expensive, foreign SIM cards take time to arrange, and hotel wi-fi does not follow you to a market or a train station. This app downloads language packs so translation keeps working with no connection at all, across more than a hundred and fifty languages. Three input methods cover the situations you actually meet. Text handles anything you can type. Voice handles conversation, converting speech and speaking the result aloud so the other person can simply reply. Photo handles everything written down that you cannot type, whether that is a menu in an unfamiliar alphabet, a road sign, a label or a form. Full-screen text translation deals with longer documents rather than single phrases. The floating button is a small idea with a large effect. It sits over other apps, so text encountered in a browser, a message or a social feed can be translated where you found it instead of being copied, pasted into a translator and carried back. Input language detection saves choosing the source, reverse translation checks that your sentence survived the trip intact, and results can be saved and shared. Language packs occupy storage, so it is worth downloading only the ones a trip needs and removing the rest afterwards. The app is free and ad-supported, and saved translations collect in their own list for returning to phrases you have already checked.
