Have you used the Google Translate app while traveling? If so, do you have any other tips for using the app? 😎

This is one of the most useful videos I've seen on travel so far! Keep doing what you do, thank you!

Thanks, Ernest. I never knew Google Translate could do all that, and it does! VERY helpful video!

Just watched the video (again!) after returning from a couple weeks in France, where I had forgotten the feature that lets you point your phone at a sign or menu to get a translation. Thanks for the reminder on that, as well as the save feature. As for the use of the handwriting feature, I found that, in French as in some other languages, I'm sure, the accent makes all the difference, yet is difficult to type. With a handwritten word or phrase, i can easily add accents to ensure a better translation. Finally, I think you meant the verb "err" rather than "air" in your topic title late in the video. Thanks again, Ernest, for a great and very practical video. Despite being pretty conversant in French myself, I found myself using the app multiple times a day.

Ernest Happy Friday ! It’s a great app I’ve used before . Thank you for the tips your amazing 💯😉🙏🏽

Used app during a recent trip to Japan. I was blown away with its ability to read signs and other written text. I enjoyed the conversation feature since english is rarely spoken in Japan. I recommend it to anyone who wants to communicate with locals.

i was just about to drop $90 on a translating device, i didn't know google did all the same things for free... you saved me money and anguish 😂

Was a life saver in China, the girl at the restaurant was speaking to the app and I would just type. She helped us get a taxi!

We are planning to go to India for our 7th trip, shortly. On seeing a tiger which I record on You Tube, I expressed my frustration of not knowing what was being said between the wildlife park guides, as we never understood what what being said. Some of the You Tube commentators said we should learn Hindi, not that practical when on a three week trip. So this trip I plan to use all you have provided us with here. Absolutely top quality video, so so useful. When I got to a level I thought you have given me all I needed to know, you went and provided more information that you only gain with experience. BRILIANT, superb, your parents trained you well!!

This thing is AWESOME! My wife of 30 years speaks fluent Italian * first gen American... I tested it just a few minutes ago...She to me and me back to her in Italian...So cool! I have a moto G5 Android OS...Works perfect!

Gonna try this out on my upcoming trip in June. Thank you!

Awesome video.

I've switched from using Google Translate because it often gives direct answers that aren't very accurate. Instead, I've started using Immersive Translate, which conveniently displays both the target language and the translation outcomes on the same page. This way, I can better understand the context and nuances of the language.

Great app. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you for sharing.

Great tips thank you

Love the graphic "Air on the formal side". I wonder how Google translate would translate that when written?!?! Moral of the story....Be careful when typing to ensure accuracy.

Thanks this was a great help I'm going to use this in SANTA DOMINGO

Thank you. Big help. Stay safe.

Superb. Nice clear explanation. Thankyou for spending the time to do this. 👍🇬🇧

Great stuff I travel a lot never thought of this 😉

A really helpful video. Thanks.

very very useful my friend

I use it extensively while traveling. GT thinks it knows what you want to say and then provides translation. in summary, it translates your text to its understanding and then translates that into your target language. It's accurate as long as it understands what you're saying, and this is more than sufficient for traveling. It will get you by with some errors, but it will get you by. But my main usage of GT is where it falls short. I am learning another language. So, I form sentences in my head then feed them to GT. I want a literal translation. Doing this, I can correct my mistakes and learn from my errors. I want to know exactly what I've said, and not what GT thinks I want to say. For a language learner, GT falls short. IMO

Ernest, thank you for the very informative video. As you point out in your video, Latin American Spanish is somewhat different. If going to Santiago Chile as we will eventually be doing, do you have any suggestions for Chilean Spanish? Will the Google translate Spanish be good enough?

Great video, Thank you.

Amazing language learning app.

2023: Great video, thank you

It is true that I do not travel, but I use this Google Translator in conversation on WhatsApp . However, when I want to translate an inscription with a camera in a newspaper or other magazine, translated subtitles merge with other letters or are translated inaccurately. I have a second translation application and better translates word text or from the picture . This translator is called Camera Translator .

I saved your video,thanks so much 👍😀

Just download the app. Very handy. Thanks.

Cmt đầu

Hell yeah 😎

Tq Very much

any Idea how to get rid of a phrase that I have copied to the clipboard? (paste) is on the screen and I cant get rid of it?

Ciao amico!

Thanks alot

Google App is appreciated and works great. It could use some improvements however.

Very useful. Thanks. BTW the last graphic should be 'err on the formal side' not "air" ☺

Happy Eyes!

Thank you

Hey Earnest! I have an Old Navy store card & I don’t use it.I don’t really need the card.If the issuer close this acc due to not using,will that have a bad impact on my credit report to other issuers rather than losing the average age? Thank you!

I use Google translate to work with immigrants. I am just learning and discovered today that you cannot use google translate microphone when you are on a call. The microphone will only work with the call.

Thanks for this. Just one thing though re. item 7) - "Err" is the correct spelling of "Air".

how to use it when speaking

Im wondering why i dont see the full screen icon

Google Lens is better for the camera. It's instantaneous and translates everything on the screen.

cool...Can google lens do the same?

Arigato

Is it completely free? What are the caveats?

#7 should be, "Err on the formal side."

The handwriting tool is nit in the Google translate now any more

Can you translate on Whatsapp...while talking?😊

Microsoft translator is 3x better and cheaper

impossible to learn how to use it

Just spent an hour on google help only to find the app only works offline for text transalations not for voice so a waste of time downloading needed languages

Thanks for the overview, but i would have liked to see a tutorial, oh well back to KZfaq.

Offline speech does not work. Every informational post on this subject studiously ignores the only problem and instead explains everything anyone who has average chops already knows. Why do you torture people?

talking too fast!!!!
