Our latest development in this effort addresses gender bias by providing feminine and masculine translations for some gender-neutral words on the Google Translate website. Over the course of this year, there’s been an effort across Google to promote fairness and reduce bias in machine learning. Now you’ll be ready to translate text whether you’re online or not. If not, go to your offline translation settings and tap the arrow next to the language name to download that language.

If you’ve used offline translation before, you’ll see a banner on your home screen that will take you to the right place to update your offline files. Make sure you have the latest updates from the Play or App store. If you do not have the app, you can download it. To try our improved offline translation and transliteration, go to your Translate app on Android or iOS.

For example, when you translate “hello” to Hindi, you will see “नमस्ते” and “namaste” in the translation card where “namaste” is the transliteration of “नमस्ते.” This is a great tool for learning how to communicate in a different language, and Translate has offline transliteration support for 10 new languages: Arabic, Bengali, Gujrati, Kannada, Marathi, Tamil, Telugu and Urdu. To help you in these cases, Translate offers transliteration, which gives an equivalent spelling in the alphabet you're used to. It can be particularly hard to pronounce and spell words in languages that are written in a script you're not familiar with. In some languages like Japanese, Korean, Thai, Polish, and Hindi the quality gain is more than 20 percent. Offline translation is getting better: now, in 59 languages, offline translation is 12 percent more accurate, with improved word choice, grammar and sentence structure. When you’re traveling somewhere without access to the internet or don’t want to use your data plan, you can still use the Google Translate app on Android and iOS when your phone is offline.
