The feature automatically offers a translation that’s accessible via an icon overlay. This will pop up whenever a user copies text from a chat, comment, or text box within any other app. Google says that the Tap to Translate feature works for all 103 languages on any Android phone running Jelly Bean 4.2 and above.
