Real time presentation subtitles

You can provide translated subtitles to your presentations on the Slide Show ribbon tab by selecting Subtitle Settings .

• Use Spoken Language to see the voice languages that PowerPoint can recognize and select the one you want. This is the language that you will be speaking while presenting.
• Use Subtitle Language to see which languages PowerPoint can display on-screen as captions or subtitles and select the one you want. This is the language of the text that will be shown to your audience. Choosing the same language as your Spoken Language allows you to provide closed captioning. This is especially relevant for accessibility for the deaf and hard of hearing.

You can turn subtitles on and off by using the subtitle toggle in the Slide Show View or Presenter View.

Learn more about adding subtitles and captioning in the Microsoft Office website .

PowerPoint Live Presentations

If your presentation requires subtitles in multiple languages at once, PowerPoint’s Live Presentation feature is native within PowerPoint for the web. With Live Presentations, audience members can see a presentation on their own devices and read live subtitles in their preferred language while you speak.

The video below is an overview of the Live Presentation feature.

Live Presentations is currently only available for PowerPoint for the web. To use the feature, you will first need to save your presentation to the web.

To get started with Live Presentations open your slide deck in PowerPoint for the web and go to the Slide Show tab and check your audience setting. Click the drop arrow next to Present Live to select who should be able to connect to this presentation.

Next, select Present Live and your presentation will begin with a screen that shows a customized QR code. Your audience can point their device cameras at the QR code, tap the link that appears over the QR code, and PowerPoint Live will load your presentation in their web browser. There’s nothing for them to install.

Once your audience has loaded the presentation they will see your spoken words transcribed on the screen in near real-time. If an audience member would like to have your spoken presentation translated for them into a different language, they can tap the language indicator and select from one of other languages and dialects.

As you are presenting, you can turn the microphone off and on using slideshow toolbar:

How to Translate in PowerPoint

Delivering a PowerPoint presentation using native connotations or sharing it with a target audience in a native language can immensely help your performance. Whether you are a teacher, student, business professional, or someone trying to pitch your ideas to a potential investor, the value of using the local language can never be emphasized enough. There are a number of ways you can translate in PowerPoint, whether you’re using PowerPoint templates or creating slide decks from scratch. Let us show you how!

The Need for PowerPoint Translation

Let’s assume you speak Spanish and are awaiting a presentation by someone who is not a native Spanish speaker. How would you feel if the presenter could present in your local language, give references from the local culture, and present ideas that resonated with your beliefs? Language plays an important role in the battle to win hearts and minds. Due to a language barrier, many presenters can find it challenging to connect with an audience. While English is widely spoken and understood worldwide, adding captions targeted to non-English speakers can be essential to win hearts and minds. This is why people from different fields of work aim to learn new languages to better connect with the local people.

Even if you don’t master the language to the point of being a native speaker, having your slide deck translated into the target language as a presentation handout can pose as a winning factor. This is why the need to translate your slide deck should not be overlooked.

Benefits of Translating PowerPoint Presentations

Before we discuss the different ways to translate in PowerPoint, let’s take a look at some of the benefits of translating PowerPoint presentations.

Better Accessibility of Information for the Audience

Translated presentations in some niches can be beneficial to increase the audience’s overall understanding of your speech. For example, if you are delivering a technical presentation about new machinery, some attendees may miss important details due to not being acknowledged with advanced jargon. 

Improved Communication and Consideration for Cultural Sensitivities

Language barriers can leave a lot to be lost in translation. You can even offend the audience because of misunderstanding how a term or phrase is perceived. This can be avoided by translating PowerPoint presentations.

Improved Audience Engagement

Reaching out to the local audience in their language can help improve audience engagement. People can be more enthusiastic when a presenter aims to reach out to them in their language, even if they might not be proficient in speaking or writing. This is the same approach when a traveler aims to speak to locals in their language – although the skill is not perfected, locals highly value the interest in their culture.

Global Outreach

Translated PowerPoint presentations, especially when shared in different languages online, can significantly help as people look to cater to a global audience. Various businesses often share critical information in multiple languages, including copies of slide decks with manuals, key information about the business, and investment options.

Professionalism

Providing the audience with translated content can make the presentation professional and reflect the presenter’s thoroughness. This can be an excellent way to leave a positive impression on your audience.

Legal Requirements

Sometimes, it might be a legal requirement to translate content to make it accessible for all stakeholders. Hence, translating a presentation with essential information might be required for legal compliance.

When Should You Translate a PowerPoint Presentation?

While translating a PowerPoint presentation can be a good approach, it is also necessary to determine the time and place for using translated PowerPoint presentations.

Determining the Right Timing

Determining the right time to use a translated PowerPoint presentation is important. For example, you might need to translate your presentation and handouts at multi-cultural events where people with different native languages might attend the conference, workshop, training, etc. Such practices help to reduce the friction between the attendees and the event’s organizing staff as key information (hotel accommodation, transportation, the event’s agenda, etc.) are stated in their own languages besides English.

Reasons for Translating a PowerPoint Presentation

You should be clear about the reasons for translating the PowerPoint presentation. Do you wish to expand your business by wooing investors, need to reach out to a multicultural audience regarding a social issue, or need to address employees from a global team? By being clear about the objectives for translating the PowerPoint presentation, you can determine how to articulate best and translate the content. It won’t deliver the same effect as translating in a neutral, online translator tone as hiring the services of a professional translator.

Considerations and Audience Analysis

It is important to know the language(s) for translating the PowerPoint and to determine cultural sensitives, terms that might be offensive in the local context, and the use of terms that might be pleasing to the target audience to some extent. An audience analysis prior to creating and translating your slide deck can help avoid cultural pitfalls that can cause inconvenience when delivering your presentation.

Localization of Content

Besides language considerations, the contextualization is crucial. For example, if you are discussing road safety, does your audience live in a country with left-hand traffic or right-hand traffic? Similarly, when talking about a topic like climate change, you might want to consider its impact on different people in the audience and look for native terms that might be appropriate for discussion and explanation.

Academic or Research Presentations

When translating information in academic or research-related presentations, you might want to ensure that you can cater to the needs of a diverse audience. Some terms might not have a native language word that can be translated from another language. In such a case, you might need to explain the information in more than just a single word or phrase by dedicating a few lines to the topic.

Manual Translation Procedures

While there are different methods for automatically translating PowerPoint presentations, manual translations can be more accurate, considering the cultural context.

Modes for Manual Translation

You can opt for the ideas below to manually translate PowerPoint presentations.

Translate it Yourself

If you are familiar with the local language or can translate the presentation with the help of a dictionary or some help from online tools, you can do it yourself.

Hire a Consultant or Freelancer

You can hire a consultant or a freelancer from online portals to translate a PowerPoint presentation into different native languages.

Assign it to an Employee or Subordinate at the Workplace

Different multicultural organizations have people who can speak and write in different languages. You can assign the translation task to an employee or subordinate or request another department to help you.

Request a Friend or Colleague

If you know a friend or colleague who speaks the local language, you can request them to help you with the translation.

Advantages of Manual Translation

Accurate and appropriately translated text .

Translating text manually can help avoid embarrassing errors caused by incorrectly translated text using automatic translation apps. Sometimes, certain connotations can even be offensive if not properly translated. Manual translation can help avoid such pitfalls, as the person is aware of cultural connotations.

Better Reflection of Cultural Context

Manual translation can help better reflect cultural context and enable the presenter to win hearts and minds using culturally appropriate terminologies or metaphors in storytelling.

Better Understanding of Local Terms

By getting text translated into a local language, a presenter might be better able to determine whether words and phrases have alternatives in local languages or whether using some terms from another language might be just as good. For example, many languages don’t have alternative words for certain English terms such as ‘internet’ or ‘cake.’ Such information can help determine the best use of phrases that might be easier for a non-native presenter.

Limiting Information to Maintain Confidentiality

If a relevant individual manually translates the text, it can help maintain confidentiality and security where needed. This can also help avoid placing sensitive information in automated apps, where the threat of data breach can occur.

Disadvantages of Manual Translation

Just as there are advantages, there can also be a number of disadvantages to the manual translation of PowerPoint presentations.

High Cost of Translation

Getting PowerPoint presentations translated manually can incur a high cost. This is particularly true if you frequently require translation of presentations.

Time-Consuming

Manual translations can be time-consuming and lead to delays in preparing presentations. Languages that do not share the same alphabet also may require extra time to translate technical terms accurately.

Inconsistency in Text and Errors

While automatic translations can also have errors, manual translations can suffer from human error and inconsistencies in how the text is translated. Unlike automatic translations, the uniformity in how text is translated can be lost in manual translations or if several team members are working on the translation.

Security and Confidential Concerns Due to Third-Party Involvement

By letting a third party translate information for you, there can be a threat to maintaining the confidentiality and security of sensitive information. Sometimes, such confidentiality might even be required interdepartmental, where getting translations from an individual in another department might not be appropriate. NDA agreements are particularly useful in this regard.

Tips and Best Practices for Manual Translation of PowerPoint Presentations

Take some time to consider the context.

Manual translations should never be done in a hurry. You should take some time to consider the local context. A bit of research into what might click with your audience might be helpful. If you are using a professional translation service or consultant, you should consider discussing clarity regarding the local context.

Ensure Legibility of Text

The font style and writing scripts can be very different for different languages. Ensure you can maintain legibility by using the right font, font size, and text distribution over a slide.

Maintain Consistency

Unlike online tools, consistency can be an issue in manual translations. To avoid confusion, you should try to ensure that different words and phrases are consistently used in the translation.

Avoid Cultural Minefields

A simple translation misstep can lead to stepping into a cultural minefield. You can inadvertently offend your audience without even knowing what you did wrong. This is why it is important to be mindful of this conundrum and avoid anything that might appear potentially inappropriate for your audience.

Professional Translation Services

Role of professional translators.

Professional translation services and translators can be a quick and easy way to translate PowerPoint presentations accurately. You would want to engage a service provider or consultant who can be reached for your assignments to ensure their timely completion and ensure that you have more than one service provider available in case of any eventuality.

When to Consider Professional Services

You might want to consider professional service providers if you can submit your slide decks or required text a few days ahead for translation. Very few translation service providers or individuals might be able to translate text manually within a short period of time, and doing so might lead to the risk of errors.

Professional translation services are also a must when the data to be translated can imply severe legal consequences if done wrong: i.e., product manuals, product presentations, academic presentations, etc.

Tips and Best Practices for Finding and Collaborating with Translators

You can consider the following tips for finding and collaborating with translators.

Freelancing Platforms

Various freelancing platforms, such as Upwork and Fiverr, can help you reach out to translators and build a pool of professionals who might be available for your translation tasks. You can also ensure quick payment and quality of service by using such portals. Consider checking the service provider’s or freelancer’s rating to look for the best possible resource within your budget. We highly recommend taking extra time to run a test before assigning a time-bound job.

Advertise an RFQ

To seek translators’ resumes, you can submit a request for a quote (RFQ) or advertise on various websites such as Craigslist, Impactpool, Workable, and job boards.

LinkedIn and Online Portfolio Websites

LinkedIn and online portfolio websites might be another good place to consider looking for professional translators. Assess professional profiles and look for translators with whom you can work.

Suggestions from Your Connections

You can always take suggestions from your friends, colleagues, and connections via Facebook, LinkedIn, and other social media websites to seek suggestions to connect with translators.

Online Tools, Software, and Translation Plugins for PowerPoint

Online tools and translation software can make your translation tasks a breeze. There are many popular platforms for PowerPoint translation that you can integrate into your daily workflow.

Microsoft Translator

PowerPoint has an AI-powered built-in translation tool called Microsoft Translate that can help translate text in over 70 languages. Microsoft Translate also has an API that offers personal, business, and educational integration.

Google Translate

Google Translate is a popular PowerPoint translation option. Whether you use the online tool or have it integrated into a service, Google Translate can be your go-to option for translating your slides.

Please consider that Google Translate works best when the translation is done from English to another language. If you want, say, to translate from French to Spanish, the translation will be far more consistent if you translate French > English, then English > Spanish. Unfortunately, that’s the way the tool works.

Bing Translate

While Bing Translate also powers Microsoft Translator, you can also use the online tool or an integrated version of the tool in service to translate text for your slides. Similar guidelines apply to the point mentioned before about the English language translations vs. other languages.

Deepl is another translation tool that can translate text between different languages. A competitor of Google and Bing’s translation tools, Deepl offers similar translation options, including integration with various services.

Transifex is a commercial translation service with products aimed at streamlining digital translations. Transifex can be integrated for business use for digital content translation.

Google Slides

Another quick way to translate for PowerPoint is to upload your slides to Google Slides and use the translation extension to get your slides translated. You can even download your Google Slides presentations in PowerPoint format in different languages.

Advantages of Online Tools and Software

Ease of access.

Unlike reaching out to someone to get your presentations translated, online tools and translation software are easier to access, with 24/7 availability.

Quick Translation

Online tools can be quick to use and can help translate large chunks of text in no time.

Cost Saving Option

Online translation tools and software are cheaper options than translating presentations manually. This is especially true if you frequently need to translate your slide decks. 

Consistency in Translated Text

Online tools come with a uniform and consistent method of translation that can help avoid manual errors and maintain consistency.

Integration with Services

Different translation tools are integrated with various services, allowing instant translation even when you need it on the fly, such as when closing a sale with a customer who requires information in their native language. You can quickly translate instructions in slide decks or other relevant information by using integrated tools that come with plugins for sales, marketing, websites, and other platforms. The use of the Google Translate API is one such example.

How to Translate a PowerPoint to Spanish

If you’re wondering, “ How do I translate a PowerPoint document or a slide deck to Spanish? ” you can use Microsoft Translate, which comes built-in to Microsoft apps for translation, including Word, PowerPoint, and Excel. You can access Microsoft Translate in PowerPoint using the Review tab. Simply select the text to translate and click Translate .

The tool can also be accessed via the right-click menu. Selecting the text and going to Translate will enable you to translate the selected text instantly.

A sidebar will appear with the original text and the translation in a language you can select from the bottom of the pane.

In this case, our Spanish-speaker team members tested the accuracy of the translation, and although it’s grammatically correct, contextually, it would sound better if it said:

“Más de 50.000 Plantillas de PowerPoint. Descarga diapositivas de PowerPoint listas para usar, 100% editables para tus presentaciones. Termina tu trabajo en menos tiempo.” Once again, context is key.

Microsoft Translate supports over 70 languages, and you can translate text.

After translating the text, click Insert to add it to the slide. You can use the language toggle to change the language from which the text is to be translated to the language in which you wish the text to be translated.

By going to File -> Get Add-ins in PowerPoint, you can search for translation add-ins from the Office Store to suit your needs. In addition to the software and tools mentioned earlier, you can look for other services that can be integrated as add-ins in PowerPoint to translate text between supported languages.

The Importance of Context 

Significance of localization cultural considerations in translation.

Spanish-speaking nations have diverse linguistic variations, cultures, and traditions that need to be understood when translating content. This means that text translated in Castilian might be very different in terms of context compared to Mexican Spanish. Hence, the variation in dialects is essential to understand, as is the type of Spanish spoken by your audience and the appropriate cultural context. This is why localization and cultural considerations are essential for any language, especially languages like Spanish that have diverse dialects.

Adapting Content for Spanish Audience

When adapting text for Spanish audiences, you might want to consider the below-mentioned aspects.

Choose the Right Spanish Variation

Does your target audience include people who speak European Spanish, Latin American Spanish, or some other variation? Knowing which Spanish variation to use is important to ensure that grammatical changes are accurately reflected. And even if, Latin America has a broad range of Spanish variations, as the vocabulary used in Chile is somewhat different to what you can come across in Uruguay or Argentina. The differences mainly lie in colloquial terms and how foreign words are adapted into the language.

Localization of Visual Elements

Graphical references, such as advertising, maps, etc., are different from a European perspective to a Latin American one. Consider this factor when building the graphics for your slides, as the attendees may not be familiar with terms as common as supermarket chains, weather/geographical terms, and the list goes on.

Addressing Local Concerns

Different topics will have a very different context for different types of Spanish-speaking audiences. Be it trade, marketing, climate change, educational priorities, economic dynamics, or other topics. Addressing local concerns would be essential to get your message across as a presenter to avoid your message getting lost in translation. For example, the global economic downturn is affecting different Spanish-speaking countries differently. This is due to the differences in government policies, financial structure, population, geographical location, and other factors. This may not be the case in some other Spanish-speaking countries where the focus lies on women’s rights, immigration policies, etc.

Regulatory Compliance

In some countries, it might be necessary to present information according to the country’s regulatory compliance, where essential information must be presented before a specific target group to ensure transparency related to data, privacy, advertisement, etc. This factor must be considered when creating content for Spanish-speaking audiences to ensure compliance (where applicable). 

Translating PowerPoint can be a powerful method to reach a diverse, global audience using local language and context. It can open new avenues for people in different professions if done correctly. However, it is vital to ensure that you can translate information accurately through manual or automated means. This is to avoid preventing the end goal of your PowerPoint presentation from getting lost in translation.

How to Translate Google Slides in 4 Simple Ways

4 min. read

Looking to share your Google Slides with people who speak other languages?

Make sure the slide pictures are nice. Because that’s the only thing they will understand there.

Unless, of course, you learn how to translate Google Slides.

And that’s exactly what we want to help you with.

Pro tip : Use a translation management system, Centus, to streamline your translation workflow, improve collaboration among translators, simplify payment calculation, and ensure consistency across different projects. Learn more .

Method 1: Use an add-on

Add-ons are third-party tools that integrate directly into Google Slides and provide seamless access to translation services. Here's how to use an add-on to efficiently translate Google slides:

• Open your Google Slides presentation

• Select the slide add-on you want to use
• Click Install
• Once the add-on is installed, you will see a new menu item in the Extensions menu.
• To translate a slide, select the text you want to translate
• Click the Translate menu item
• Select the target language
• The translated text will appear in a new text box

Method 2: Use DeepL

DeepL is an artificial intelligence-powered language translation service that uses deep learning algorithms to produce high-quality translations.

The tool’s algorithms have been trained on massive volumes of multilingual data, allowing it to better translate context than typical machine translation systems.

Follow these steps to translate Google slides using DeepL:

• In your Google Slides presentation, copy the text you wish to translate
• Select the target language.
• Click the Translate button

Here are the advantages of using DeepL to translate Google slides:

• DeepL's neural network technology automatically translates text with a high degree of accuracy and contextual relevancy.
• DeepL delivers translations that read naturally, enhancing the overall quality and impact of your presentation.
• DeepL supports 31 languages, allowing you to easily engage with foreign audiences.
• DeepL's powerful algorithms ensure consistent translation of terms, phrases, and jargon throughout the slide.
• Users can obtain translations quickly and efficiently due to DeepL's lightning-fast translation process.

Popular alternatives to DeepL are Google Translate and ChatGPT . You can also use them to translate your slide text into dozens of languages.

Method 3: Convert Google Slides to PPT

When it comes to translating Google slides, one effective method is to convert them to the more widely used Microsoft PowerPoint (PPT) format. This will give you access to a wider choice of translation tools and options, which will simplify the translation process.

Here’s how to translate Google Slides by converting Google Slides to PPT:

• In the dropdown menu, click Download
• Choose the Microsoft PowerPoint (.pptx) option

Google Slides will then convert your presentation into a PowerPoint file, which is compatible with several translation tools.

You can re-import the translated PowerPoint back into Google Slides to continue working on your presentation. Here's how it's done:

• Choose the Upload tab and select the translated PowerPoint file (.pptx extension)
• Click Select to upload the file

You can use different translation tools to translate the PowerPoint version of your Google Slides presentation. These options include:

Microsoft Translator

Microsoft Translator is a free online tool that allows you to instantly translate a PowerPoint presentation. Simply upload the PPT file, choose the source and target languages, and click Translate .

CAT (Computer-Assisted Translation) tools

CAT tools can handle PPT files and ensure the efficient management of slide translation. These tools allow translators to use translation memory, which ensures consistency and saves time.

Human translation

If you want a human touch in your PPT translation, refer to language service providers. The professionals can accurately translate your presentation while retaining its original formatting and layout.

Method 4: Use a translation management system

When it comes to translating Google Slides for global audiences, using a translation management system (TMS) is one of the most efficient and accurate methods.

• Convert the Google Slides presentation to PPT
• Create a free trial Centus account
• Upload your PPT document
• Select manual or automatic translation
• Download the translated PPT document

The use of the professional TMS, Centus, not only ensures the high quality of Google Slides presentations but also simplifies the entire process. With it, you can effortlessly track progress, provide feedback to translators, and calculate the pay rate.

AI-Powered Travel Updates Will Make Translation Easier

Episode Notes

Travelers could have easy access to a robotic voice translator thanks to updates to ChatGPT. An OpenAI presentation explained how ChatGPT could serve as a human speech translator, the most significant travel-related feature in several updates unveiled on Monday, writes Travel Technology Reporter Justin Dawes. 

Dawes reports the upgraded translation capabilities are part of the new flagship GPT-4o model for ChatGPT. OpenAI said the new model is better at interacting with voice, photo and video than the previous model. The company said that a user, for example, could take a photo of a menu and ask ChatGPT to translate it. 

Next, several major airlines are suing the Biden administration over its new rule requiring carriers to disclose all fees associated with buying a ticket, writes Airlines Reporter Meghna Maharishi. 

Several carriers, including American, Delta, and United joined the suit along with Airlines for America, the trade group representing prominent U.S. airlines. The group said the new rule would create more confusion for consumers. Airlines for America added that it believed carriers already disclosed all fees to customers before ticket purchases. 

The Department of Transportation unveiled a rule in April requiring airlines disclose the prices of checked baggage, carry-ons and changing a reservation. 

Finally, European authorities have designated Booking.com’s parent company, Booking Holdings, as a “gatekeeper.” That means Booking.com  will be subject to tighter regulation on the continent, reports Senior Hospitality Editor Sean O’Neill 

O’Neill notes the European Commission’s move will impose stricter rules on Booking.com regarding content moderation and make it easier for consumers to switch to other providers. Booking Holdings now has six months to submit a report outlining how it will comply with certain obligations. 

Non-compliance could result in fines of up to 10% of Booking Holdings’ total worldwide revenue.

The 8 Best Offline Translator Apps for Going Off Grid in 2024

As a team of language learners and travelers, we’ve tried quite a few of the offline translator apps available over the years. 

We’ve also built our own language-learning app with offline features, so we know getting this technology right is no small feat.

Skip wading through the app store or aimlessly downloading dozens of apps to try. Read on—we’ve selected and shared our favorite offline translator apps for different needs.

1. Best App Overall: Google Translate

2. best app for apple users: apple translate, 3. best app for professionals: microsoft translator, 4. best app for built-in phrasebook: itranslate, 5. best app for speed and accuracy: translate now, 6. best app for real-time communication: speak & translate, 7. best app for east asian languages: waygo, 8. best app for chinese: baidu translate, and one more thing....

Available:  iOS  |  Android

Practically everybody knows about Google Translate! Its mobile app is astounding, both online and offline. It’s so ubiquitous that it’s the first and last app most people think of for translating.

Languages Offered

With the Google Translate app, you can choose to translate to and from 133 different languages. That’s only with an internet connection, though.

You have to download each language pack individually, and 92 languages are available offline.

Unique Features

Google Translate was one of the first apps to implement the camera mode , which is now available in quite a few apps on the market.

Right now, there’s an active community of multilingual Google users that translates and corrects the most commonly used words and phrases.  That extra human attention can really go a long way toward a smooth translation experience.

Available: iOS

This is one of the best apps for iPhone users. While it doesn’t have as many languages as some other apps, compared to some apps it’s relatively new, so there’s only room to grow from here! It’s great for many commonly spoken languages.

In total, Apple Translate provides translation for 17 languages . Apple Translate offers offline translation for all of its languages such as French, Spanish, Japanese, Korean and many more. To use them offline, you have to download them and then turn on “On-Device Mode.”

Apple Translate can translate text, text on images and voice. Plus, there is a built-in dictionary function and a way to save your previous translations. You can even review words with multiple meanings or check grammatical variations for languages that have gendered words. 

Microsoft Translator is working hard to optimize their translation technology for businesses, including a new feature where people can translate their PowerPoint presentations in real time.

So how do their mobile apps stack up against the competition?

The offline mode supports 70 languages, and 11 of the largest ones come with the more advanced neural network processing algorithm—a fancy way to say that they use AI to improve translation quality.

Other apps let you translate a conversation in real-time, but if two or more users both have Microsoft Translator installed on their phones, it’s a cinch to create a private chat room. From there, each participant can type and receive messages in their preferred language.

There’s nothing like beautiful aesthetics to keep you coming back to an app.

With iTranslate, the process of translating sentences and looking up words is intuitive and seamless, as well as robust enough to go toe-to-toe with industry giants. These features make it many users’ top choice for an offline translator app.

Online, you can translate over 100 different languages, including specialized ones like non-standard Arabic languages and even Canadian French. That list shrinks down to over 40 languages offline, covering a huge proportion of the world’s speakers.

iTranslate is also a great app for traveling. It has a built-in phrasebook feature that covers topics such as “At the Hotel,” “At the Store” and “Help/Medical.” Just tap the topic you want to view the comprehensive list of phrases you might need while traveling. You can read the phrase yourself or tap the microphone icon for the app to read the sentence out loud for you. 

Unlike some other apps on this list, iTranslate is a paid app . It offers only a seven-day free trial and then you can choose if you want to pay $49.99 per year or $5.99 per month. 

Translate Now excels in delivering rapid and precise translations, making it a go-to choice for users seeking efficient language conversion on the iOS platform.

This app supports translations for a vast array of languages, exceeding 110 in its online mode. The offline mode, though slightly more limited, still covers quite a few languages , catering to a diverse global audience.

Translate Now prioritizes simplicity and speed. With a user-friendly interface , it allows users to swiftly input text or speech for translation. The app also features an offline phrasebook and a pronunciation guide, aiding users in mastering correct pronunciations. 

Translate Now is also a paid app and costs $9.99 per month and $69.99 per year. If you need it for a really short time, there’s also the option for a one-week subscription which is $4.99.

Speak & Translate stands out as an ideal choice for users engaging in live conversations, offering seamless real-time translation features on iOS.

When online, this app supports 54 languages for voice translation and 117 languages in text mode. When offline, it supports text translation for 10 languages in premium mode. The language selection is designed to cover major global languages, ensuring broad usability.

Speak & Translate shines in conversations, providing instant translation during voice interactions. The app features a split-screen mode, allowing users to view both the original and translated text simultaneously.

It also includes a conversation history log , enabling users to review past translations. To get the premium version, Speak & Translate costs $4.99 per month and $69.99 per year.

Available:  iOS  

In Chinese, wàiguó  means “foreign.”

That’s how the developers came up with the name Waygo. They were working and living in Asia and realized that an offline app would be perfect for travelers trying to navigate the unfamiliar languages around China, Japan and South Korea.

As the developers of Waygo have special connections to East Asia, the app only works for Chinese, Japanese and Korean. More languages are said to be in development.

Waygo was built to be a lightweight offline translator. You can even use it on older phones that don’t have the same processing power or storage space as today’s flagships.

Because a lot of people will be using this app in restaurants, the dictionary databases have a large stock of dish and ingredient names available.

Available:  iOS

You may have heard of Baidu once or twice if you’re from North America, but in China, it’s all the rage.

Their translation algorithms have been making leaps and bounds in the past few years, particularly with Chinese as a source language.

The app lets you translate between Chinese and 200 languages. You still have access to translation features offline , as well as a phrasebook that comes with native-speaker recordings.

According to many Chinese-speaking users who leave reviews online, Baidu Translate’s translations for Chinese are much more accurate than Google Translate’s.

One of the coolest features is object translation, which allows you to snap a picture of something in the real world and see the Chinese and English names for it, along with native-speaker recordings.

Right now, object translation is only available when you’re connected to the internet. But in a few years, who knows?

If you want to try and learn a language instead of just translating, translators can still be great tools for learning new words. Then you can start learning how to use words in your own sentences, and eventually, you might be able to talk to people without even needing translations!

One option for increasing your vocabulary is to make flashcards of the words you encounter using your translator. You can use paper flashcards or, if you’re on the go, convenient flashcard apps .

If you want to go beyond just increasing your vocabulary, there are tons of great language-learning apps out there that will help you learn how to form sentences and understand them in context.

7 fascinating facts about composting

Composting is nature’s way of recycling. It turns food waste and other organic matter into high quality soil amendment called compost.

Here are a few facts you may not know about composting:

• Composting has been around for centuries.
• The Australian Brush-turkey builds compost piles to incubate its eggs.
• Composting worms love watermelon!
• You can compost indoors.
• Compost piles can reach over 140 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Fresh worm castings (a.k.a. worm poop) is often referred to as “black gold.”

Recently Parks & Rec partnered with Bennett Compost to help reduce food waste by composting. Bennett Compost agreed to pick-up food waste from our camps and after school programs.

In return, Bennett moved its composting business into an unused building on park land.  The company processes more than 250 tons of food waste a year on Parks & Rec’s site.

There are many benefits to composting.

Composting helps:

• Prevent soil erosion.
• Conserve water.
• Supply the soil with nutrients.
• Create green jobs.

OpenAI's big event: CTO Mira Murati announces GPT-4o, which gives ChatGPT a better voice and eyes

• OpenAI's "Spring Update" revealed new updates to ChatGPT.
• OpenAI CTO Mira Murati kicked off the event.
• She announced GPT-4o, its next flagship AI model, with improved voice and vision capabilities.

OpenAI just took the wraps off a big new update to ChatGPT.

Cofounder and CEO Sam Altman had teased "new stuff" coming to ChatGPT and GPT-4 , the AI model that powers its chatbot, and told his followers to tune in Monday at 1 p.m. ET for its "Spring Update" to learn more.

Also ahead of time, Altman ruled that the event would reveal GPT-5 or a new OpenAI search engine, which is reportedly in the works. OpenAI is reportedly planning to eventually take on internet search giant Google with its own AI-powered search product.

But the big news on Monday was OpenAI's new flagship AI model, GPT-4o, which will be free to all users and "can reason across audio, vision, and text in real time." It was CTO Mira Murati who delivered the updates with no appearance on the livestream from Altman.

There were a ton of demos intended to demonstrate the real-time smarts of GPT-4o.

OpenAI researchers showed how the new ChatGPT can quickly translate speech and help with basic linear algebra using its visual capabilities. The use of the tech on school assignments has been a polarizing topic in education since it first launched.

Say hello to GPT-4o, our new flagship model which can reason across audio, vision, and text in real time: https://t.co/MYHZB79UqN Text and image input rolling out today in API and ChatGPT with voice and video in the coming weeks. pic.twitter.com/uuthKZyzYx — OpenAI (@OpenAI) May 13, 2024

OpenAI posted another example to X of how one can interact with the new ChatGPT bot. It resembled a video call, and it got pretty meta.

In the video, ChatGPT takes in the room around it, discerns it's a recording setup, figures it might have something to do with OpenAI since the user is wearing a hoodie, and then gets told that the announcement has to do with the AI — it is the AI. It reacts with a voice that sounds more emotive.

OpenAI also announced the desktop version of ChatGPT, and a new and improved user interface.

In addition to GPT-4o and ChatGPT, OpenAI's other products include its AI-powered image generator DALL-E , its unreleased text-to-video generator Sora , and its GPT app store.

You can catch up on our liveblog of the event below.

That’s a wrap! OpenAI concludes the event without an appearance from Altman.

OpenAI says text and image input for GPT-4o-powered ChatGPT is launching today. Meanwhile, voice and video options will drop in the coming weeks, the company said.

Although Altman didn't step in front of the camera, the CEO posted videos from the audience on X.

He also teases "more stuff to share soon."

GPT-4o can also break down charts

The new AI model can interact with code bases, the OpenAI execs say. The next demo shows it analyzing a chart from some data.

It's a plot of global temperatures. GPT-4o gives some takeaways from what it sees, and CTO Mira Murati asks about the Y axis, which the AI explains.

ChatGPT reads human emotions — with a stumble

For the last live demo of the day, Zoph holds his phone up to his face and asks ChatGPT to tell him how he looks. Initially, it identifies him as a "wooden surface" — a reference to an earlier photo he had shared.

But after a second try, the model gives a better answer.

"It looks like you're feeling pretty happy and cheerful," ChatGPT says, noting the small smile on Zoph's face.

In one of the final tests, ChatGPT becomes a translator

In response to a request from an X user, Murati speaks to ChatGPT in Italian.

In turn, the bot translates her query into English for Zoph and Chen.

"Mike, she wonders if whales could talk, what would they tell us?" she said in English after hearing Murati's Italian.

It's pretty impressive.

The video demo shows how it could help with math homework, including basic linear algebra

OpenAI Research Lead Barret Zoph walks through an equation on a whiteboard (3x+1=4), and ChatGPT gives him hints as he finds the value of x — making it basically a real-time math tutor.

At the beginning, the bot jumped the gun.

"Whoops, I got too excited," it said after it tried to solve the math problem hadn't been uploaded yet.

But it then walked him through each step, recognizing his written work as he tried to solve the equation.

It was able to recognize math symbols, and even a heart.

OpenAI's first demo: Talking to GPT-4o

It's demo time!

The new bot has a voice that sounds like an American female, but no word yet if you can change it.

OpenAI Research Lead Mark Chen pulled out ChatGPT on his phone and asks for advice on giving a live presentation using Voice Mode.

"Mark, you're not a vacuum cleaner," it responds when he hyperventilates, appearing to perceive his nervousness. It then tells him to moderate his breathing.

Some big changes, you can interrupt the AI now, and there shouldn't be the usual 2 or 3-second delay with GPT-4o.

It can also detect emotion, according to OpenAI.

GPT-4o will have improved voice capabilities

Murati emphasizes the necessity of safety with the real-time voice and audio capabilities of the new GPT-4o model.

She says OpenAI is "continuing our iterative deployment to bring all the capabilities to you."

Murati says the big news is a "new flagship model" called GPT-4o.

The new model is called GPT-4o, and Murati says that OpenAI is making a "huge step forward" with ease of use with the new model.

It's free for users, and "allows us to bring GPT-4 class intelligence to our free users," Murati says.

And we're off!

The livestream began with CTO Mira Murati at OpenAI's offices.

OpenAI is going to be announcing 3 things today, she says. "That's it."

For those who want to watch live, you can view the whole event here.

OpenAI will be livestreaming its spring update, which kicks off in less than an hour.

Axel Springer, Business Insider's parent company, has a global deal to allow OpenAI to train its models on its media brands' reporting.
