This March Google’s translation app was updated with an offline support, which means you can now use it even without internet access. All you need to do is download a language package and you are good to go. The offline models are less comprehensive than their online equivalents, however: voice recognition is not available and the app doesn’t do text to speech either. In addition, only Android users can enjoy this feature – Apple fans will have to look for an alternative. itunes.apple.com/ca/app/google-translate/id414706506 play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.translate

An App Store veteran which recently received a new flat UI. No, it can’t translate without internet connection – but you still have access to a customized phrasebook. If you feel this won’t be enough, you can save a couple of phrases beforehand: translation history is stored in this app and can be accessed anytime. In addition, the app requires no extra money for additional languages. Your only expense will be if you choose to get rid of the ads or to purchase additional voices for reading the translations aloud.
The app developers didn’t stop after creating an offlinetranslator and came up with this great tool for any traveler: Offline maps with a handful of useful locations, a currency converter and a character recognition feature. These might just be enough to find your way in any country! Although the app is far from perfect with occasional breakdowns in its operation still its feature, while translations into Russian sometimes bring to mind manuals for electronic devices made in China.
