Built for the trip abroad without a data plan: menus, street signs, tickets and leaflets, read where you're standing.
New · Live translate
Live translate listens to the person you are talking to and writes each sentence in your language as it is said. Put your earbuds in and you can hear it as well as read it.
Scan, listen, speak or type — whichever the moment calls for.

Instant offline translations in all 58 languages

Or start with a language: Spanish, Greek, Japanese, Chinese, Thai, Italian, Turkish, Vietnamese, Hindi, Marathi. And if you already use Google Translate: what is different here.
Greek, Thai and Arabic need signal to scan. So capture them anyway — the photo is kept and translates itself the moment you're back online.
You never lose the sign you were standing in front of. What works with no signal →
