Google Translate is a very handy language translation tool that already supports cross-translation between 51 languages, covering nearly 98% of Internet users. In its constant bid for improvement Google keeps adding new features to Google Translate, the latest one being a feature that allows users to translate text in real-time. This means that translation will happen as the user types in the source words. One doesn’t even need to click the translate button.

Yet another new feature is ability to input transliteration for Persian, Arabic or Hindi languages. Although the transliteration feature had been previously available as a separate service for a few languages, with this development Google has integrated it with Google Translate. So, if you require translating text from one of the aforementioned languages and cannot type in their native script from your keyboard then the transliteration feature would allow you to type the required words based on their sound and then automatically convert them into the native script of the languages. So if your source language is English and target language is Hindi, and you type in the hindi word “jeet” (victory) using English letters, you’ll see real-time transliteration of the word into the Devanagari script which is used for writing Hindi.

More new features include one that allows English speakers to read/pronounce non-Roman languages like Chinese, Korean, Japanese, Hindi, etc. When you input a piece of text in non-Roman language and click “Show romanization” it will turn up the phonetic form of the translation enabling you to read the text, as well as pronounce it in the native language. Furthermore there’s a speaker icon clicking on which lets you hear translated text in English.
