Summer has its own casuistry when it comes to preparing the mobile: taking care of the terminal so that it does not suffer from high temperatures, using applications like Waze to carefully prepare our transfer to the vacation spot by road to make the best trip possible and if we are traveling abroad, pay attention to data rates and roaming to always be connected and of course, If you are going to a country with another language, the Google translator cannot be missing on the phone. But in what Google Translate offers, there is an option that I must activate before going on a trip
The Google translator will always get us out of trouble: translating airport signs, knowing what to ask by looking at restaurant menus, not getting lost if we rent a car, mumbling a few words while buying our souvenirs… that’s if things go well, but sooner or later there are mishaps: a flat tire, a bus that doesn’t arrive where it should, a reservation that isn’t there or even worse, having to go to the hospital for a health emergency. At times like these, it doesn’t matter if you pronounce it better or worse, you want to write your message, have it translated instantly, and the other person understands it.
In those moments of real stress there is a winning combination that comes to the rescue: Google Translate to translate and the data rate that will allow us to use it. Yes, sometimes there is Wi-Fi, but we are not always going to be in cafeterias, hotels, shopping malls or airports, places where there is usually a wireless network to connect.
Yes in coverage, in Europe in general I usually have more than to go through a tunnel, but it is not the first nor the last time that I will camp in a rural campsite (I am looking at you, cold nights in Soria) and I find that the cover sometimes goes. In Soria, I didn’t have much of a problem if I ran out of coverage, but if I have to do it in Morocco or Thailand, that’s it.
How to Download Languages for Offline Use in Google Translate
So before I go on vacation, what I always do is download the language in question to use it offline: This is how I heal from bad coverage or other mishaps. However, if you haven’t already, enjoy good Wi-Fi and on your mobile open the Google translate app.
Down where ‘translate into‘, find the languages you are going to use and press the download icon. At this time another confirmation message will appear, you will have to touch again on ‘Download‘. So you can use it offline and fluent no matter what.
