Google Translate for iPhone has been updated to version 1.2.0 that brings 5 new Indian language support the include, Bengali, Gujarati, Kannada, Tamil and Telugu. This feature is already available for the Google Translate for desktop and the web app since June. The Google Translate for iPhone was launched earlier this year and has received some minor updates since then. With the new addition, the app now supports text translation among 63 languages, voice input in 17 of those languages, and text-to-speech in 24 of them.
New features in Google Translate for iPhone
- Added support for 5 new languages: Bengali, Gujarati, Kannada, Tamil, Telugu
- Ability to view dictionary results for single words and to display romanizations for the new Indic languages
- Fixed bug that sometimes prevented voice input from working
Since these languages are still in Alpha it might be less fluent and include many more untranslated words than some of our more mature languages but these are helpful for most of the users who were expecting this support.
Download the Google Translate for iPhone from the Apple iTunes store for free. These Indian languages are already available in the Google Translate for Android.
