Google Translate adds 13 more languages it can visually translate

Google’s handy Translate app is now supporting close to 50 languages it can support when it comes to visual translations. This week, the company adds 13 more languages, including Vietnamese, Thai, Punjabi, Tamil, and Nepali, to name a few. If you want to use visual translation, you just need to navigate to the camera icon on the app. This will prompt you to line up the text you want to translate into the photo’s box. The app will scan the text using a machine learning technique known as Neural Machine Translation. This will give you a translation (hopefully a correct one) into the language of your choice. Both the Android and iOS versions of the app will be getting support for these additional languages.
