Google has announced the latest update for the Translate app on Android. The update is currently available from the Google Play Store and brings support for offline language translation.

Of course, that is assuming you have downloaded the offline language pack prior to losing that connectivity.

The best part about this update is it’s available for 1.6 and up phones. I know there are a few of you still stuck on 1.5 but this does reach more users then some of the newer apps that are only compatible with 2.0 and up devices. With that being said, it’s good to see that Google is making a concerned effort to make their Android apps as good as possible. They are even keeping their mobile sites updated for Android devices.
