Google Translate can now work its magic inside other apps, but only if you’re on Marshmallow

0

Google Translate is seeing an update in the Google Play Store and for the lucky few running Android 6.0 Marshmallow — you’re in for a real treat. Gone are the days of having to copy/paste text directly into the app to get a translation. Now, the app can now work its magic directly from inside other applications. Simply highlight text from inside the app and watch as the translation is displayed in a handy pop-up window.

The only time this wont work is if the developer implemented their own custom text selection behavior. If that’s the case, it’ll be up to the dev to use the standard one which can be easily added along with instructions here.  For all those running Android 6.0 Marshmallow on their devices, you can grab the updated Google Translate app from the Play Store right now.

I've been obsessed with consumer technology for about as long as I can remember, be it video games, photography, or mobile devices. If you can plug it in, I have to own it. Preparing for the day when Android finally becomes self-aware and I get to welcome our new robot overlords.
