Travelers rejoice: You can now read signs in Norwegian. Google Translate translates text in 27 languages.

Google App: Instantly Translate 27 Languages

Google acquired the app Word Lens , and for six months it has allowed users to translate seven languages of written text instantly.

We’ve tried it, and it’s an amazing product — it works really well, even with weird fonts.

Translate App In Use

To use Google Translate , you simply hold a phone up and the camera instantly translates text from another language into English (or your preferred first language). Using it the first time is almost a magical experience.

The news today is that Goggle Translate is adding 20 new languages to the visual text translation, making the app more functional. You can now translate to/from English to: French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Bulgarian, Catalan, Croatian, Czech, Danish, Dutch, Filipino, Finnish, Hungarian, Indonesian, Lithuanian, Norwegian, Polish, Romanian, Slovak, Swedish, Turkish, and Ukrainian.

You can also translate from English to: Hindi and Thai.

Sorry, no Greek or Japanese visual translation just yet, but we suspect languages derived from non-latin alphabets won’t be far behind.

More Languages

Other functions on the Google Translate app, such as voice translation or typed-in text, work in 40 languages, including Japanese, Greek and Arabic. With 90 languages already available on Google Translate online, we’re guessing many more will be coming to the text-reading app soon.

The update is rolling out over both iOS and Android. It is free and available for download now . If you’re going to head to foreign lands, bring this app along. It’ll come in handy if you don’t speak the language.
