  • Xda-Developers | Google Translate 5.29 tests instant translation in the camera with automatic language detection
  • In spite of the lack of success with Google Glass, Google firmly believes that augmented reality will dominate the future of services like Search and Maps. Naturally, Google Lens received due attention at Google I/O this year, and a host of features to make information easily perceptible and your life easier, in general, were shown off at the keynote. Among these features, the instant translation with automatic language detection is coming to Google Lens but before that, it has already started to become available on the Google Translate Android app.

    A teardown of the Google Translate 5.29 APK points to a better interface and new features that will improve the quality of translation while using the camera. The Instant translation mode is getting an upgrade including new functionality to detect the language automatically. This will not only help you with faster translations but also ensure that you can just aim at any text without actually knowing the language it is written in and expect a reliable translation.

    As part of the new interface, there is a new bar at the bottom with the three available modes such as Instant, Scan, Import. The Instant mode, which is currently represented by an eye-shaped toggle icon, now also gets a more descriptive, "Pause translation" button. The text translated with the Instant mode is displayed on top of the original text with its formatting style (somewhat) intact.

    The Scan mode is pretty similar to the earlier versions, but there's a minor addition in the form of a new Clear button which lets you unselect the highlighted set of words. Additionally, the Import mode lets you select and scan existing images from the gallery in order to translate them.

    While the functionality of the Google Translate app is pretty similar to the previous versions in terms of the features, the new interface with indicative text makes it much easier to use. The new interface as well as the automatic language detection should be available to Google Translate with version 5.29 but, it seems to be a server-side switch so predicting exactly will be difficult. Since we were able to spot it on the latest Android Q beta, we suspect that might be a requisite for the feature (although we cannot say that for sure). In the meantime, you can check for any updates to the app via Play Store.
