Google Translate in Education

In Google Translate, students can type out a different language to translate to English. However, Google Translate now uses an augmented reality function. If students are traveling in a foreign country, and need a translation, it might be difficult to type out all the words or sentences they need to understand what is going on. Now with Google Translate, students can use the camera function to take a picture of the text or a sign and have it translate in real time. The other feature is being able to translate spoken word in real time. Therefore, students can speak with a native speaker without having to stop and translate each word in a broken language. The way this could be used in for education is students can learn the content in the native language before having to translate it. For example, in Greek Mythology, the way Greek Gods and Goddesses spell their names are different than how English spells it. Therefore, a way to introduce the Greek Gods and Goddesses is introducing it in the native language of Greek with pictures and explanations where students have to translate it to understand the information. This gives students another cultural experience, while they find an appreciation for the culture.

Accessibility for Instructional Design

Google Translate is now a form of augmented reality and is adapted for educational purposes. This application provides users with tools to translate between languages and they now include an image option; users take a photograph of a sign, piece of paper, or other form of written text and receive a translation in the language of their choice. This augmented reality is ground breaking because this allows online learners to access content in other languages. The application also translates spoken word in real time, which allows all learners to access audio in written form, in their own language, online or in-person.
This version of augmented reality that is adapted for education can be utilized in an online learning environment and can be utilized by instructional designers. One of the major challenges with instructional design is selecting the correct tools to build learning experiences. With this application, instructional designers are able to create a course in their own language and can make their lesson accessible to learners by recommending Google Translate for accessibility. I plan to utilize this in conjunction with my online lessons and videos in order to reach more students with diverse abilities and primary languages.

Hard to Use, Inaccurate, Barely Works

Many times when I record audio or pictures, the translation doesn’t even come up. The audio is worse since no matter what I do, speaking into the microphone is just a bust. I’ll say something into the microphone, and it won’t do anything. It doesn’t even load, it just indefinitely waits for me to say more. No matter how much I say, real words or not, it doesn’t ever even acknowledge that I’m done talking and if I hit any buttons, the X to close it or microphone button that you’d think would tell what it said, just cancel out of it.
Not to mention, taking pics is a nightmare. You have to highlight with your finger the phrases you want translated, but you can’t move the picture around easily. So if you zoom into a certain part, it’s hard to zoom back out, and you can’t move the picture at all without zooming in or out. So if you zoom out in a way that makes the pic go off to the side, well, too bad. Why can’t it just detect the words itself? Or at the very least, why can’t I translate more then one thing in a picture, and do I have to take the same picture again and again just to see everything it says?
