I can only describe my experience Spanish/English translations. If I input the English correctly, the resulting Spanish translation is nearly always spot-on, including colloquial language. I sometimes use translate to check my own Spanish, and I can see how far I have progressed since I moved to Mexico. And I have to say that I think that a lot of the ads for translators for tourists are not really necessary if you have this app on your device.

Works well, but sadly, the offline usage mode just doesn't work. Even though I've downloaded the language to translate from for offline use, as soon as I select airplane mode for testing, it won't translate what it sees in the camera. 😞 Edit in response to reply from Google - I've already done everything you suggested, before leaving my above review. It's just not working...

Hi David. Let’s enable “Airplane Mode” from phone Settings to be completely offline & try again. If that doesn’t help, ensure that the correct languages are selected on the home screen. If they are, delete the languages using the Trash can icon - reconnect to WiFi or change your Data Usage settings & download the languages again. Thanks.

The app is pretty good. The major gripe I have is that the Speech Input and Conversation options are not allowed in the "Detect Language" mode. I have insured the app has all permission allowed. I just want the app to be set to detect a spoken language and automatically translate to English so that I don't have to hand my phone to the non-english speaking person to type.
