What's New in Language Translator by Mate

10.0.0

August 11, 2026

Mate 10 is here — say hello to the AI translator. • New AI engine: choose Basic, Advanced, or AI right on the translate screen. AI translations understand context and come with extras — synonyms, example sentences, usage notes, and the right article for gendered languages. • Formality control: switch between formal and casual tone in languages that distinguish them. • Offline mode, one tap away: a new Offline switch sits on the translate screen, and Mate switches to your downloaded language packs the moment you lose signal — no more waiting for timeouts. • Language packs now download right where you translate, size included — no trip to Settings. • Camera: pinch to zoom before you snap, and one-tap retry instead of a long hang when a scan fails. • Fixed an issue where an active Pro subscription could briefly show as inactive while offline.

Scummy business practices

Advertises itself as free, with a single line at the bottom of the wall of text that is their description denoting that as soon as you download this free app, you better pay up if you actually want to use it. Wouldn’t have minded paying a bit for convenient, accurate translations, but being about as transparent as a stained glass window guaranteed they’ll never see a penny from me.

Garbage extension. Doesn’t work, just reads your data. Avoid like the plague.
