Google Translate for iPhone hits the App Store

Google Translate has always been on the iPhone, in a way of a mobile-optimized HTML5 version of course. But now, Google has given a wholehearted love to the iPhone crowd by making it into a proper app. Yes, Google Translate for iPhone has hit the app store!

Of course, being an app makes some features more solid while making other features more available than HTML5’s restriction. These enhancements over the basic web app including a speak-to-translate feature with support for 15 languages, the ability to listen to your translations in 23 different languages, and a full-screen mode that lets you show your translated text to others with large, easy-to-read text.

Google is still keeping a few features exclusive to the Android version (obviously, duh!), however, including the still-experimental conversation mode that allows for some on-the-fly translations. Sadly though, the beatbox feature isn’t present on both iOS and Android, yet.
