I had Google translated on my defect on iPhone before a trip and it saved me more than once

If you are traveling abroad this summer, the Google Translate application can be useful to quickly translate a road panel or a conversation. The latest Google Translate update allows you to choose the application as your default translation application for Apple iPhones and iPad performing iOS and iPados 18.4 and later. Previously, you were limited to the integrated Apple option.

Google began to take advantage of AI to stimulate Google Translate's offers, adding 110 languages ​​last year to increase its total support for 249 languages. Compare this to Apple Translate, which supports 19 languages. Neither Google nor Apple responded to a request for comments.

The two applications offer a voice and text translation, including a camera functionality that allows you to instantly translate by pointing your camera to the text. Both also allow you to use translation features without internet connection, which can be particularly practical when traveling in more distant locations.

After using both, I discovered that Google's speech picked up a little faster, so I didn't have to repeat myself constantly, and audio pronunciations were a little easier to understand than on Apple Translate. I went to Google Translate by default my iPhone, and here is how you can also.
