Summary
Google Translate offers 249 languages, while Apple Translate only supports 19.
Google Translate supports Android, iOS, iPadOS, and web browser use, with Apple Translate limited to Apple devices.
Both apps offer a camera feature for translation, but Google Translate allows for handwriting translations.
For the frequent traveler (or curious learner, a must-have in your luggage of travel apps is a translation app. Be it navigating street signs in another country or trying to find the translation for that one word from your native language, a good translation app is essential.
Which is the best translation app for your iPhone: the built-in Apple Translate or Google Translate? Here's everything you need to know before you make a permanent addition to your list of favorite apps.
Both Apps Have a Clean Interface
The Apple Translate app, which is made for iPhone and Apple devices, fits snugly into the rest of your app suite. Getting used to the sleek interface takes minutes: the app has four tabs (Translation, Camera, Conversation, and Favorites). Once you familiarize yourself with using the Translation tab, you can start saving certain words and phrases to the Favorites tab for easier access. The app supports translation for 19 languages.
The Translation tab allows you to easily switch languages, with the ability to download languages and use grammatical gender for certain languages. What I like most about the Apple Translate app for iPhone is the simplicity of navigation and use. This is also something that the Google Translate app offers.
