Google translate with a makeover

Google has been rolling out material theme designs for a lot of Google apps in recent time and it seems that the material look has finally reached Google translate. The update was earlier spotted and is currently taking off on a massive scale for Google translate on web. The new Google Translate site has a similar design with two fields for dialect input and output. There is also now an option available to switch between entering ‘Text’ and uploading ‘Documents’ underneath the app bar. This new update is focused more on revamping of the layout of the web version of Google translate while also adding new functionality. The new functionality makes it much easier to organise and save translations that have been used or searched for.
