Features
Once the app is started, you'll see 4 icons: they are (clockwise) Mic, Conversation, Photo and Keyboard icons.

Mic icon: Tap on this icon for the app start listening to your voice. Choose both from and to language, then speak to the app and the app will start translating. Unfortunately, the app won't read you the translation.

Conversation icon: Tap on this icon to start conversation between 2 languages. For example between English and Simplified Chinese: Tap on the mic icon to start speaking, once done, the app will automatically translated to the other language and vice versa.

The drawback of this feature is the languages the app can listen and translate are still limited. Not all languages is supported yet. And compared to Google Translate app, this app requires you to press the mic correctly when you want to speak to be translated. And the translation result, you need to read it by yourself as the app won't speak it for you.

Photo icon: Tap on this icon if you want to snap a photo (or get from existing photo), to be translated.

Good thing is that, the app will auto detect the language on the photo and translate it to the language of your choice. On my test, the result is good, it can translate 90% of the text correctly.

Keyboard icon: Tap on this icon if you want to key in the text and have it translated. Like the 'Photo' feature, this 'Keyboard' feature also can detect the language you are typing in and translate it to the language of your choice.

The Verdict
Microsoft Translator when compared to its direct and long standing competitor: Google Translator, is still far from perfect as Microsoft still needs to keep adding support to more languages (written and spoken), supports auto detect languages and needs to catch up with the translation speed as I noticed, Microsoft Translator still needs 1-2 seconds more to translate compare to Google Translate.
But from the UI side, I can say Microsoft Translator UI is better compared to Google Translate.
Another drawback for Microsoft Translator is that the app only supports Android 4.3 and up while Google Translator can be installed on any version of Android.

>> Current Version 1.3.0.58
>> Price Totally FREE
>> Internet Connection required Yes
>> Requires Android 4.3 (JellyBean) or later.

[FREE APP] [Android] Google Translate Amazing New Features: Direct Voice Translation, Word Lens, Photo Translation

As you already knew before, Google Translate is an app that help you to translate between 2 languages.

Now, after Google previously purchased the company that make the Word Lens app, Google is now coming with the update for its Google Translate app.

The update brings these amazing new features:
1. Instant translation with Camera
2. Photo Translation
3. Direct Voice Translation

The first new feature is for sure coming from Word Lens app and is currently only can translate from and to these languages:
1. English <-> French
2. English <-> German
3. English <-> Italian
4. English <-> Portugese
5. English <-> Russian
6. English <-> Spanish
These instant translation, previously on Word Lens app was available as in-app purchases, now after bought and integrated by Google into Google Translate, this feature is available for FREE. Amazing Google!

The second new feature is photo translation. For now it supports 36 languages and will supports more in the future. To use this feature, you need to click on the camera icon for the app to start taking photo. Once the photo is taken, it will recognize the text and start translating.
Unfortunately, to use this feature, you need to choose the two languages first. From which language to which language, which means that photo translation is only support translating one language at a time and you need to know first which language is that you want Google to translate it for you.
Perhaps this feature can be improved in the future to auto-detect the language from the photo.

The third new feature is the most amazing one. Direct Voice Translation. Same as the second new feature, to use this feature, you need to preselect both languages before translation begin. Without choosing the languages, this feature can't be used.
Once you select the languages, from and to, all you need to do is press the mic button. If let say you are translating from Chinese to English, there will be 3 buttons in the UI. Speak Chinese button, Speak English button and Mic button.
If you are not sure who is going to talk first, push the Mic button, the app will then detect whether the spoken language is Chinese or English.
Once you finished one statement, the app will then translate to you in an instant (depending on your network connection- of course).
This feature is really useful when you are traveling to countries in which you don't really understand the language and you need to ask for direction.
This feature is also really useful if you have new business partner that don't really speak your language.
What about you? How do you think this new features from Google can help you?
