Google Translate for Android will then attempt to detect the text and translate it into the user\u2019s native language. The 16 new languages supported in version 2.7 are primarily based in the Baltic, central and southern regions of Europe, but also include Icelandic and Indonesian.<\/p>\n<p>The new Phrasebook feature basically gives Android users access to the Phrasebook already in use via the Google Translate website. This allows users to build a library of phrases they use regularly or wish to have easy access to while on the road, and utilises their Google Account to sync the Phrasebook across multiple devices. The Phrasebook replaces the old Favourites feature, with existing favourites added to the user\u2019s Phrasebook.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.downloadcrew.com\/article\/28049-google_translate_for_android\" >Google Translate for Android 2.7<\/a>\u00a0is available now as a free download for Android devices, while\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.downloadcrew.com\/article\/19898-google_translate\" >Google Translate 1.3.1<\/a>\u00a0is also available for iPhone and iPad, albeit without support for camera input or Phrasebooks.<\/p>\n<div class=\"feedflare\">\n<a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.betanews.com\/~ff\/bn?a=5DwLvTrgrtQ:krGdpURiY04:qj6IDK7rITs\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/bn?d=qj6IDK7rITs\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.betanews.com\/~ff\/bn?a=5DwLvTrgrtQ:krGdpURiY04:yIl2AUoC8zA\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/bn?d=yIl2AUoC8zA\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a>\n<\/div>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~r\/bn\/~4\/5DwLvTrgrtQ\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\"\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Google Translate for Android 2.7, a major update, is available.
