Microsoft launched Translator last summer on the Google Play Store from Android. An app that came as a great base to gradually add certain improvements. That first version was far from Google's own, which does a great job with support for Android Wear, translation of texts into images and more.
It is in that translation of texts into images where Microsoft has finally updated the Android application to incorporate it and thus almost put it on a par with Google's. And not only has it remained in that quite striking novelty, but it has included another option that is closely linked to what has been the last official update.
Apart from power translate texts into images As a great novelty, which is none other than superimposing the text on the original, the translation option is incorporated throughout the system. This means that, from any application, when you select a text, you will be able to choose to use the basic options of copying, cutting and pasting. This action is related to the new API in Android Marshmallow.
This new version of Google Translator on Android puts it almost at the same level as Google's with its own translator, the best application of this type at the moment. The differences are in the user himself who may find that when translating to a selected language, the result is more natural than Google's, so it will be a matter of taste to use one or the other.
Microsoft with this app will make it a little more difficult for Google, which will ensure that an update is available soon adding some new improvement such as that design language called Material Design that has been expanded by almost all Android apps.
