The Google Translate app is about to get a lot more powerful. In an update released today, Google is adding dozens of new languages to some of the Translate app’s most powerful features, and smoothing out the app to make it friendlier to slow connections. In particular, the update makes Translate’s visual translation features significantly more powerful, letting mobile users translate 37 languages via photo, 32 via voice, and 27 through real-time video.

Word Lens supported seven languages when it launched, but after today’s update, Word Lens will be able to translate back and forth in 25 separate languages, including Czech, Turkish, and Ukrainian. The app can also translate text into Hindi and Thai but cannot translate back, since the script makes it difficult for the program to resolve individual letters. The new languages aren’t built directly into the app, but they’re available as 2-megabyte modules, which can be downloaded by accessing the languages within the app.

The update will also make speech-to-speech translation easier to use on a slow connection, after Googlers noticed more and more users relying on the feature in areas with bad connections. By making more of the translation processes local, the new Translate can run more smoothly in the face of an intermittent connection. Every day, Translate processes 100 billion words across the globe, and 95 percent of those translations take place outside the US, so the recalibration toward slower connections could have real implications in countries with less developed cell infrastructure.
