About Google Translate
Google Translate is a standard app that can translate Malay and Chinese signs and menus simply by pointing your camera at them. While English is widely spoken in Malaysia, translation is surprisingly often needed for Malay menus at local food stalls, government documents, school notices, and similar materials. It's reassuring to also download language data for offline translation.
