What is Google Translate?
Google Translate is a free translation service from Google available on the web, Android, and iOS, plus a Chrome extension. It supports 249 languages and language varieties for text, and includes camera-based image translation, offline packs, handwriting input, and real-time conversation mode. Google's Gemini models now power more nuanced translations of idioms and slang.
For developers, Google Cloud Translation offers a separate pay-as-you-go API with Basic, Advanced, and LLM tiers, custom AutoML models, and glossaries, billed per million characters after a 500,000 character monthly free allowance. This makes Google Translate both a consumer app and a foundational translation infrastructure product used inside countless other software products.
