Plus a smoother experience with its conversation feature, and on slow connections.

Google Translate is a pretty useful app when you’re on the road. The tech giant has been working to help travellers explore the world without the barriers of language, and its latest update does just that.

Google has added 20 new languages to its instant visual translation feature, the company announced on its blog. This means that in addition to the seven languages – English, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Russian and Spanish – that were made available in the last update, you can now use the app to translate signs between English and Bulgarian, Catalan, Croatian, Czech, Danish, Dutch, Filipino, Finnish, Hungarian, Indonesian, Lithuanian, Norwegian, Polish, Romanian, Slovak, Swedish, Turkish and Ukrainian. You will have to download a language pack for each. More.
