To activate the feature, simply tap the mic to start speaking in a selected language, then tap the mic again, and the Google Translate app will automatically recognize which of the two languages are being spoken, the company said in a statement. Meanwhile, the offline support enables users to translate a word or sentences alike when they are not connected to the Internet.
