Microsoft Translator gains image translation capability on Android

Microsoft has rolled out a new update to its Translator app on Android. The update brings some new features - including the ability to translate image text - as well as regular bug fixes.

"Translate words within images - convert from 21 languages or choose automatic language detection," the release notes for the update say. In addition, users running Android Marshmallow on their devices will now be able to translate text without leaving their current app.

And finally, language packages - that allow you to use the service even when you're not connected to the Internet - are now available for download in 40+ languages including Arabic, Chinese, Spanish, Portuguese, Japanese, and Korean.
