Very unintuitive, lots of frustrations. So many obvious improvements, so many obvious flaws. Clearly the developers don't use the app, or else they themselves would know its shortcomings and fix them. Simple things, like taking a picture but forgetting to switch what order the translation is in, having to back out and switch it and takr another picture. This could be automated, as this is an app by Google I don't see how it couldn't be, in the very least be able to flip post photo, with a button

The new UI that was made some time ago is trash. Now when I'm translating an image, it's impossible to just select a certain section of it because the cursor will grab words from all over the page. It was fine before, why change it? v Of course I know that, but I can't select multiple different lines of text without the cursor freaking out and snatching random bits of text from the whole page.

Hi there. To translate part of text on an image: Tap the expand icon in the language selector - Toggle "Show original text" - Highlight the part of text you wish to translate. Hope this helps.

Since the last update. This app is saying it cannot connect to the net. I check all the setting and they are set correctly. I tried Google Translate on the Google search website and that works good. I had been using the app version for 2 years without any issues. Till this last update. It is not my cellphone carrier or the OS. The Samsung Galaxy Note 10 is a great smartphone. I hope Google will losten to all of use. That have this trouble with the update amd address the issue.
