Have you ever found yourself in a foreign country, wishing you knew how
to say "I'm lost!" or "I'm allergic to peanuts”? The Internet and
services like Google Translate can help—but what if you don't have a
connection?
Today we're launching offline language packages for Google Translate on Android (2.3 and above) with support for fifty languages, from French and Spanish to Chinese and Arabic.
You can select [Offline Languages] in the app menu to see all the
offline language packages available for download. To enable offline
translation between any two languages, you just need to select them in
the offline languages menu. Once the packages are downloaded, you're
good to go.
While the offline models are less comprehensive than their online equivalents, they are perfect for translating in a pinch when you are traveling abroad with poor reception or without mobile data access.
So go out and explore another language or another culture without worrying about Internet access. There’s a whole world offline out there.
