About the App

Need to make sense of street signs in Tokyo, text a new friend in Spanish, or finally understand those lyrics in French? Google Translate brings over a hundred languages right to your fingertips. Whether you’re traveling, learning, or just curious, this app from Google LLC lets you bridge language gaps quickly, no matter where you are. It’s super flexible, built for speedy translations on-the-go, and fits any situation — typing, speaking, snapping a pic, or even doodling characters. You can run it easily through BlueStacks, making access from your computer just as seamless.

App Features

  • Type to Translate
    Pick from 108 languages and enter your text — the app delivers fast translations in just a tap.

  • Tap to Translate
    Copy text in any app, and a handy Google Translate bubble pops up so you can see the translation without ever leaving your screen.

  • Offline Translation
    Traveling? No internet? Download languages (59 of them) so you can keep translating wherever you are, even on airplane mode.

  • Instant Camera Translation
    Hold up your phone’s camera to signs, menus, or documents — the text pops up in your language in real time (works for 94 languages).

  • Translate Photos
    Snap a picture or choose one from your gallery, then let Google Translate work its magic for higher-quality translations (up to 90 languages supported).

  • Live Conversation Mode
    Chat with someone in another language—just start talking, and the app translates both sides of your conversation on the spot (for 70 languages).

  • Handwriting Input
    Write out words by hand on your screen if you’re dealing with tricky scripts—Google Translate understands 96 languages this way.

  • Phrasebook and Bookmarks
    Star useful phrases and words, then pull them up later. Everything syncs so saved items show up on all your devices, even if you’re using BlueStacks on desktop.

  • Transcribe Spoken Language
    Hear someone speaking a foreign language? The app can listen and transcribe their words in near real-time in 8 supported languages.

  • Flexible Permissions
    Use the basics with no worries, but if you want to unlock extras like voice input or camera translation, just OK the optional permissions when prompted.

Google Translate brings fast, intuitive language help wherever you need it — at home, overseas, or chatting online.
