About Google Translate
Google Translate is the world's most widely used translation service, handling over 100 billion words per day. Available on the web, Android, and iOS, it supports 133 languages and a range of input methods including text, voice, handwriting, and camera.
The camera translation feature (powered by Google Lens) allows users to point their phone camera at a sign, menu, or label and see an instant overlay translation in their language — a groundbreaking feature for international travellers.
While Google Translate is not a substitute for professional human translation in formal contexts, it has become an indispensable tool for language learners, travellers, and anyone communicating across language barriers in real time.
