Late 2024, maybe December, maybe November, I received an update that allowed me to translate any text in any app. I can no longer work out how to activate it. It was something like swiping up from the bottom of the screen, or maybe long pressing the text to translate. It did not need to take a screenshot to translate. What is this feature called and how do you activate it?

From time to time on my Android phone (currently a Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra) I use speech recognition in English and then translate the transcription into a different language, and finally use that translation in some input field in some application. For example I might use Telegram or Line, and need to send a message in Korean or German, but I want to use speech recognition in English as this is the language I commonly speak. What's the fastest way to do so? Currently I use the Google Translate app to transcribe and translate. However this requires me to copy paste the resulting translation into the target application. Is there a more efficient way to do so?

https://android.stackexchange.com/q/219797/330250 clarified that Google Translate cannot translate voice offline. Are there any other possibilities to translate voice offline (e.g. abroad)? I have already checked Google Translate, Bing Translate, Yandex Translate and DeepL. Maye a combination of Apps/Extensions can achieve this goal?

I need to translate puzzles/exercises where one need to insert missing words, translating sentences result in rubbish. I think translating texts word by word could be more useful. Is it doable with Android device? Perhaps, Google Lens or other app can be configure to translate separate words or phrases individually rather than whole sentences? I think one solution could be apply OCR, copy text and ask chatGPT translate word by word. Are there any better alternatives?

I'm using a Samsung Galaxy 10 tablet. How can I get Chrome to automatically translate a web page? My laptop will do so, either on its own or by right clicking. I have turned on Google translate, but it never offers to translate anything.

So the latest android update to Google now automatically translates a Web pages. It allows you to either never translate page or never translate language. Thing is, I'm learning the language so I want to translate the page only when I'm not sure if what is saying! Before I could choose to either ignore the translate pop up or use it. Now it translates the pages straight away, which in some cases screws them up so I can't use the menus, even after going back to the original language. Why fix something that wasn't broken!

Since the open source android (https://source.android.com) is available in multiple languages, can I extract all the translated strings in the OS so I can use them as a reference for my own app's translation? (for example for error messages...) Or is this list available somewhere? Probably harder to get, but I'd also like to ask the same question for the official non-open source version... Thanks!

**Any idea how we can do this in Android?** For those of you at work who can't watch the video, it's a demo of an iPhone app that came out today called Word Lens, which in translates language in real-time through the camera. If you point it at a sign in Spanish, it doesn't just output a translated text, it makes it look as though the sign were in English. Un-freaking-believable! The closest thing I have seen is Google Goggles but I don't think it even comes close to Word Lens. Am I missing anything? Do we have any awesomeness like this yet?

Is there way to look up words and phrases while reading an eBook in the Google Translate app? Moon reader can do that in a browser, but the translate app is much better. ------------ Here is what I ended up doing: 1. Install Aldiko reader 2. Install Andmade Share 3. Hide all share apps except Google Translate using Andmade 4. Select a phrase in Aldiko 5. Tap on the share button Now the translation of the phrase will appear directly in the Google Translate app.

> **Possible Duplicate:** > [Word Lens Alternative/Port for Android](https://android.stackexchange.com/questions/3799/word-lens-alternative-port-for-android) Basically, I'm interested whether there is an Android app that does what Word Lens does for the iPhone.
