Since the latest Google Translate update in June 1st 2018, users users can now download small modules of 35 MB, one for each of the 59 languages available. Offline availability is one of the most popular requests from users, according to a study by Julie Cattiau, French project manager at Google Translate. Not everyone has easy access to mobile internet, especially if they are traveling abroad or away from home. It must, however, fulfill one particular criteria: to be accessible offline. Offline mode, as acclaimed by usersĪs an essential tool of travelers and readers of multilingual content worldwide, Google Translate wants to appear on as many smartphones as it can. Available in 59 languages, the new Google Translate makes fewer translation errors than in previous versions, thanks to an algorithm that takes into account the entire sentence, rather than translating word by word. Google wants to allow more people to access its artificial intelligence-based translator offline.

Through a recent update, Google has optimized Google Translate by reducing the file size for each language to only 35 MB as well as improving how it translates content.
