Google Translate gets Phrasebook & adds support for 5 more languages

The Google Translate app has added support for 5 languages.

Even though the Play Store page says “Supports over 70 languages”, from my list I can only pick out 5 new languages in the list.

The five languages which have been added are:

Cebuano
Hmong
Javanese
Khmer
Marathi

In addition to this there is a new feature in the app, Phrasebook.

Google Translate lets you save your translated Phrases in your Phrasebook, this is especially useful when you want to quickly access them when you are in a foreign Country. You can sync the phrases in your Phrasebook to your Android devices.

Open the the app’s menu and tap on Phrasebook. This will allow you to save your phrases.

You can now use camera-input to find translations in 16 additional languages:

Bulgarian
Catalan
Danish
Estonian
Finnish
Croatian
Hungarian
Indonesian
Icelandic
Lithuanian
Latvian
Norwegian
Romanian
Slovak
Slovenian
Swedish

Here is the official list of changes:
