Google translate app question !

I just read a post where one said that they used the Google translate app offline because they downloaded the Italian language before they left.

How would you download the Italian language ???

Yeah...it's only available for Android users :-(

I Googled 'Google Translate offline' and found that iOS users still can't use it offline. iOS users can use the WordLens function offline.

(FWIW, iOS=Apple)

According to the HELP link on the Google Translate app, the download - with suitable warning of the huge size of the file - is only available on Android devices. Not available for iOS devices at the moment.

If you are on Android you can tap the pin next to the language.

I was a little concerned about the file size; it might be more practical to find an English-speaking Italian ;-)

This phrasebook would be smaller. Italians don't fit inside my day bag.

Well Eileen, if you find an Italian willing to go and translate for you, I would get a bigger daybag:)

I like the idea of finding an Italian to translate!!

If you can hold your phone-in google translate-up to a sign and have it translate the sign, would you need to be in a wifi zone?? It wouldn't work otherwise would it??

I have the google translate app on my ipad. You can point the camera at writing, for example a magazine, and it will translate it without wifi. It should work the same way for signs.
