Hi guys!

I'm setting up a recently wiped phone, and just finding out that in order to use gTranslate, not only you need the app Google Translate, you ALSO need the app Lens, with its own permissions, and then ALSO force feeds you the app Google. Is there a way to avoid this? Or an alternative that allows live image translation (from Chinese if possible) from what the camera is seeing? As, for a travel trip, so I can read signs and texts on the street.

Thanks!

DeepL can take and translate pictures

Thanks a lot! It doesn't seem to overlay a translation over a live image, but the picture translation is rather effective.

Apple Translate is pretty decent if your language(s) of choice is/are supported.

Not using apple devices, sadly.
