Google Translate app for Android gets offline support

Google today added offline language support to the Google Translate app for Android. Available for devices running Android 2.3 Gingerbread and up, the new feature allows for translation in 50 languages, even where a data connection is not present. To enable the offline capabilities on your device, simply download and install your desired language packs. While Google is quick to admit that the offline results pale in comparison to the online version, it should still help when you find yourself hiking in the Andes mountains. Those interested in kicking the tires on the new app experience are encouraged to head to Google Play, where you can download it for free. Samsung, for its part, recently introduced a similar translation app experience for the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S4. Dubbed S Translator, it can be embedded into e-mail, messaging, and ChatOn, or function as a standalone tool. Remember For all your technology needs www.nicholspchelp.com
