TitleGoogle Translate's Instant Camera Translation Upgraded
Body

From https://www.blog.google/products/translate/google-translates-instant-camera-translation-gets-upgrade/

The Google Translate camera translation feature is impressive - simply make a sign in the target language appear in your camera, and it will translate it into the language you want. On July 10, the feature was upgraded. With 60 languages added to those that the tool already supported, the instant camera translation tool can translate from 88 languages into over 100. It can also automatically detect the original language of the sign. Neural Machine Translation technology is now used for the camera translations, yielding more accurate and natural results. Finally, the feature has a new look and more intuitive use.
