Google has rolled out offline language packs for the Google Translate on Android app (version 2.3 and up), with support for 50 languages.
"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,"
associate product manager Minqi Jiang said in a blog post.
Before a user can avail of the language packs, he or she will first have to download and run the Google Translate app for Android.
The Translate app itself, however, usually needs an Internet connection to translate phrases from one language to another.
With the offline language packs, Jiang said a user can select "Offline Languages" in the app menu to see 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," Jiang said.
"So go out and explore another language or another culture without worrying about Internet access. There’s a whole world offline out there," Jiang added. — TJD, GMA News
