Google Translate gets the latest update today.In this version,it starts to support translating the texts in a picture.

Yes,you just have to take a photo and brush the text and you could get the meaning in your own language(currently only available to English,Spanish,Chinese and part of the Arabic).

Once you highlight the texts you want to translate,you could get your result almost immediately.It’s really great when reading some documents with professional vocabulary or travelling in a city where you’re not familiar with their languages.

Of course,it’s not the only thing Google Translate can do.

• Translate text between 64 languages
