Tap on your profile picture or the hamburger menu (three horizontal lines) in the top-left corner of the app. Scroll down until you see “Offline languages.”
Prioritize the language you will be translating into (your target language). For example, if you speak English and are going to Japan, download Japanese . The app uses your phone’s onboard processor to handle the source language (English) without a pack.
You will see a list of available languages. Tap the download icon (downward arrow) next to the language you need.
In an era of hyper-connectivity, nothing kills the travel buzz faster than landing in a foreign country and realizing your phone has no signal. You open your translator app, ready to ask for directions to the nearest coffee shop, only to be met with the dreaded spinning wheel of death.
Head to the Google Play Store and download Microsoft Translator . It is free and regularly updated.
