Summary | The new Google Translate app can translate texts that one has typed in or photographed and it can translate spoken language. It can be very useful when traveling to places where one does not understand the language. Users can just photograph a restaurant menu in a foreign language and have the Google Translate spit out the translation.

Summary | Google is always on top of new trends in technology, usually they even set the trends. They are at a turning point right now: the past few years were a search for innovations under the header "mobile first" but now all innovations are geared towards improving artificial intelligence and machine learning. One of the biggest sub-projects of that is Google Translate. Thousands of people around the world are working on improving the translations in as many languages as possible. Users will even be able to take a picture of, say, a menu and have it translated on their smartphone.

Summary | Google is always after the most exciting innovations. Their main focus at the moment is on artificial intelligence assistants which can be operated conversationally. Because they are voice-activated, issues with privacy come up: is Google's AI assistant constantly listening in? Google is working on solutions for making privacy settings as customizable as possible. Another big focus is translation. Google translate can already operate in 100 languages and now users can even scan, say a restaurant menu, and get it translated right away.
