Microsoft has updated its Translator app for Android, adding support for translating words in images. This allows you to get instant translations of signage, menus, and more. Additionally, those with Marshmallow installed on their phones will be able to translate text without leaving their current app.

Here’s everything you’ll get with the latest version of Microsoft Translator:

  • Translate words within images – convert from 21 languages or choose automatic language detection
  • Select and translate text without leaving your current app! (Android 6.0+ only)
  • Download language packages to access translation services without Internet connectivity in 40+ languages including Arabic, Chinese, Spanish, Portuguese, Japanese, and Korean.
  • Bug fixes

You’ll find the update rolling out on the Google Play Store right now.
