Google says the language packs aren’t quite as comprehensive as when the app is able to consult an online database, but they should certainly be enough to make sure your requests aren’t lost in translation. The packs are currently available for 50 languages and are only around 150MB in size, meaning they won’t take up an awful lot of space on the device. Today’s update means users will simply be able to download the appropriate language packs for the country or countries they’re visiting and hey presto, no more data charges.
