Google Translate for Android now supports 14 languages [video]

Google updated its Translate application for Android devices on Thursday with support for 11 additional languages as part of a major update. The application will now translate and speak English, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, Czech, Dutch, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Mandarin Chinese, Polish, Russian and Turkish. Google originally launched the conversation feature of Google Translate in January of this year and subsequently added support for Japanese in the wake of the country’s earthquake and tsunami crisis. Users can speak words and then correct them, if there was an error, before the phone speaks them in the translated language. The text translation aspect of Google Translate offers support for 63 different languages. A video of the application in action follows after the break. 

Thanks, Grizzly

      Uh huh, right.  Judging by how well Google Voice transcribes my voicemails, I think Apple has little to worry about.

      You’re like 65 years old, time for you to play catch-up again.

       Apple will put out a translator next year and file a patent suit on Google.  

      I just wish Apple would die as a company.  That would leave 25M clueless idiots drinking the kool aid.

    This is a siri knock-off. Stop it google. Apple wins again.

      Google’s English and Spanish version was launced the januar 12, and this is just an update with more languages.

      Also Android has also had voice search and commands for a long time, so I can’t see how it’s a knock-off or how apple wins

    What’s the point if the use-case is International Travel? Most usually don’t have international data working. Otherwise, this is a really expensive use-case.
