The Internet giant wants to break down language barriers. So today launches two updates for Google Translate service (or translator of Google).
Although Android devices already had the option called “conversation mode” (for the audio dialogue that stands between people who speak a different language), now the dialogue aims to be more fluid, because the application will detect the language automatically.
That is, the user will not have to tell the application when it is spoken in Spanish and when in another language .
Mary Carmen Albarran, Manager of Communications Product of Google, told The Nation the following about the news: “You indicate you want to talk to someone who speaks Russian. Once you initiate the conversation, when the other party answers, the application will automatically detect the language “
.
This functionality can be used also without being connected to the Internet.
“You just have to download the language pack that you want to translate and then you can use offline (when not connected)” , Albarran said.
Another update available today for customers Android and iOS devices is WordLens.
This system consists of a person use the camera on your phone to focus it on a sign, menu or written text on the screen of your device observe the translation into another language.
This functionality is new for users iOS, as Android devices above who have already had a similar service in taking a photo and marked the text to be translated.
“Google’s mission is to make information World universally accessible, that involves information that is in another language accessible, “Albarran said.
Initiatives of real-time translation are becoming stronger and seduce technology companies. In December 2014, Microsoft released its Skype Translator tool, which is in its first phase and allows you to communicate in real time with people who speak different languages.
