Google’s Visual Translator app now supports nearly 50 languages with the latest addition of the 13 new languages.

According to a report from VentureBeat, the Google Translate app is now capable of visually translating 13 new languages by using the camera on your smartphone.

In 2015, Google added the visual translation feature into the Translate app with the support of 27 different languages, allowing users to translate dinner menus and signs in real time. This makes communicating abroad so much easier!

The latest language additions include Punjabi, Bengali, Vietnamese, Thai, Gujarati, Kannada, Nepali, Tamil, Telugu, and Malayalam, resulting in a total number of supported languages coming close to 50.

Users can access this feature in the Translate app by navigating to the camera icon on the home screen. The app will prompt you to line up the text you are attempting to translate and take a photo.

After that, the app will scan the text with the use of a machine-learning technique known as Neural Machine Translation (NMT), which provides a translation into the language of your choice.

The new additions are available on both the iOS and Android versions of the app, ready to be used.
