It can often function as a helpful tool on your PC, laptop, tablet or phone,
but in most cases it still can’t compete with a ‘human’ translator, obviously.
Many of us don’t know that the Android/iOS app version of Google Translate has a very handy function:
>>> Photo translation <<<
It means it can instantly translate any text that you take a photo of.
So, you don’t have to type in what is in front of you.
All you have to do is:
> set the language,
> and take a photo of the word or text,
which makes this app very practical and useful.
In addition to Google Translator,
there are several other photo translator apps, too,
such as:
▶️ Microsoft Translator
▶️ iTranslate
▶️ Waygo
▶️ Papago
