From now on, whenever you see text in a foreign language, double tap on the bubble to see the translated text.

To use this app you'd have to feed to source and target language in the beginning. Since it works via the floating bubble, you’d have to grant the Overlay permission. In short, it’s the combination of Google’s Tap on Translate and SnapTrans. SnapTrans has two features - one-word translations and full-page translations. It supports some popular languages like Chinese, Español, Portuguese, and French. It brings a Messenger-like bubble that floats above everything else on your screen, which you can activate whenever you want. SnapTrans does away with the Language Navi's complicated approach.

Plus, it doesn't work on apps like Instagram where you can't copy unselectable text through the native method. Though it's a pretty good way to see the translations, this app can't do much when it comes to showing the translated renderings of long paragraphs or short notes. Just tap on it to see the translated text. To use this feature, long-press on a text, select Copy, and the bubble will pop up at the top-right corner. Select your primary language, and that’s about it. To enable it, open the Translate app, tap on Settings > Tap to Translate, and toggle the switch on. In 2016, Google released a feature named Tap to Translate which eased the process of translating small phrases and words on the go.Īs you may have guessed, this option is disabled by default. Yeah, Google Translate does let you translate text inside apps. However, they do their best in getting the meaning across. Note: Translations available through the apps are rarely 100% accurate.
