Finally, the big G has launched offline or offline text translation to Google Lens. That is, you will be able to afford the luxury of translating the text with the augmented reality of your mobile without having to be connected to a mobile data connection or WiFi.
An app that has reached the figure of 500 million installations a few days ago and that has done so without coming pre-installed as standard as it happens with other Google apps.
It should be mentioned that Google has been working on this offline text translation feature for 1 year now, so they have put all their efforts to make Lens have this eye-catching feature.
In other words, we will be able to use this great app to translate text without having to be connected. From what we know from 9to5Google, the offline translation is reaching users through a server update, so even having the latest version you will not be able to enjoy it. It’s all a matter of waiting a few hours or days or trying if you already have it.
Once you receive the update, you will see a pop-up window asking you to click on the download button, so that you can select the language in which you want to have the translation and click on the corresponding button.
Once we have downloaded the desired languages, a check will appear warning that it is ready to perform translations without an Internet connection. If for whatever reason you want to get rid of that language, you have to click on the brand to uninstall it.
Like the simultaneous translation capacity of Google Translate, Google Lens uses the camera for augmented reality and to translate the text that identifies the language that we have downloaded. A great novelty that comes to Google Lens to move from the connection.
