Google Crisis Response adds Japanese convo mode to Translate for Android

Responding to the continuing disasters in Japan, Google on Tuesday published a new version of Google Translate for Android that supports Conversation Mode to translate Japanese into 50 different languages in a quick, live fashion.

Google Translate for Android was first launched in January, showing an impressive early version of live, speech-to-speech translation between English and Spanish.

This version of Google Translate is available to devices running Android 2.0 and up. Some devices may have to add the Text-to-Speech Extension pack.
