The Samsung Galaxy S4's S-Translator is perhaps the most stand-out feature bundled with the next-generation smartphone. While many different devices and smartphones have had translator apps, the S-Translator for the S4 promises to be a cut above the rest of those translators already available on the market.
Android Central is reporting that the Galaxy S4 will be able to translate nine different languages. Those languages are English, Spanish, Japanese, Korean, Chinese, French, Italian, German, and Portuguese. The device will be able to understand all those languages in both speech-to-text and text-to-speech. This means that the S4 will be able to translate what you write into the phone into a different language and speak it out loud. Then the device can take sentences spoken into the microphone and translate it into written text. As an added feature, the S-Translator can translate printed text, such as signs, using the optic reader.
These features undoubtedly make the S-Translator the best translator device that will be available on any device. With such a wide range of ways to translate languages, the translator available on the Galaxy S4 should stand head and shoulders above other translation apps, such as Google Translate. In addition, having nine of the most widely-used languages built in into the phone ensures that this phone can translate the languages of billions of people.
The Galaxy S4 is expected to start rolling out to different carriers in April. The Galaxy S4 is expected to compete with Apple's iPhone 5 for shares of the high-end smartphone market. The Galaxy S4 also comes with facial and gesture recognition technology and the latest version of the Android operating system. Stay tuned for more details about the Samsung Galaxy S4 as the expected launch dates get closer.
