Microsoft today released an update for their Microsoft Translator app on both iOS and Android. On Android, Microsoft has added support for offline translations. Offline translations doesn’t meat it will do word by word translation, it comes with world’s first Deep Neural Network-powered offline engine. By downloading free offline packs, users can get near online-quality translations, even when they are not connected to the Inteet.
Deep Neural Networks, also known as Deep Leaing, is a state-of-the-art Machine Leaing technology that has been in use for almost a year by the popular Microsoft Translator cloud service to deliver high-quality translations to the many experiences that it powers — Microsoft Translator apps, Skype Translator and Bing.com/translator. By bringing this technology to offline translations on your mobile device, you will have access to the highest-quality offline translation provided. Our standard tests* have shown that it is comparable to the translations you get when connected to the Inteet, and significantly better than any offline translation experiences available previously.
Offline packs for Android are currently available in the following languages, with more on their way soon.

Rather than typing the text or speaking aloud, you can translate pictures from your phone with the translation appearing in an overlay above the existing text in the picture.
The new image feature will be available in the following languages:
