This is a very structured and feature-rich service that is not always known, which is why we have selected twelve tricks to learn right away to squeeze out the potential and functionality of Google Translate.
1 - Download dictionaries for offline use
You can download dictionaries that you can then use offline, a fundamental tool for travelers, which can go so far as to have an interpreter ready for use. The advice is to download the package before leaving, under a Wi-Fi network. In this way, even if you are in the absence of a signal (as often happens abroad) you can translate from your language to that of the country you are in and vice versa.
To complete the procedure you have to tap on the hamburger menu then on "offline dictionaries" and choose the one you want.
2 - Favorite phrases
You can save favorite phrases that can be particularly useful without having to re-translate them from time to time again. Just tap on the star during the first translation, they will then find themselves again passing from the hamburger menu below, in fact, "favorite phrases".
3 - Activate the simultaneous voice translation
Google Translate can work as a simultaneous voice translator between two languages. You can tap on the icon of the two microphones that say "Conversation". The option can also be activated from the single sentence translation menu.
4 - Translate the writings on the images
The Google Translate app can translate text on an image. You can take a photo by tapping on the camera icon or drawing a file from the image gallery.
5 - Draw a word to translate
Especially with languages that have an alphabet that is not the Latin one it may be easier to draw ideograms or other characters. Even in this case, just tap on "freehand" with the pen icon and continue with your finger.
6 - Remember to update the app

In this way, you can select the speed that best matches your knowledge of the language.
