As the global world in which we live in continues to expand, there can be an increasing need to learn languages beyond our own. Certainly the iPhone continually transforms further into a globally used device, and it appears that Google recognized this further by releasing their Translate app into the App Store.
The free app comes packed with plenty of goodies. First, the app gives you the option to be able to speak into it in 15 languages to be able to translate words and phrases into one of 50 languages.
Next, you can also listen to translations read aloud in 23 languages. You can also view dictionary results for individual words. You can even access a history of translations offline.
Finally there's a full-screen mode that can assist in magnifying the translation for easier reading. The app is globally available for free, for the iPhone and iPod touch that are running iOS 3 or higher.
So should you find yourself traveling abroad in the near future, or perhaps a student in a foreign language class and are in need of a learning supplement, Google's latest app offering is worth a look!
