Google has introduced a simple but practical update to Chrome that makes translating trail signs and outdoor text effortless. Users can now translate signs in real time using Google Lens directly inside the Chrome app.
The process is straightforward: open the Chrome app, select Lens, and point the camera at the sign. Chrome instantly detects the text and translates it on the screen, eliminating the need to type or switch between multiple apps.
The update is especially useful for travelers, hikers, and anyone exploring unfamiliar regions where language barriers can make navigation difficult. By combining Chrome and Google Lens, Google continues to push real-world AI features that solve everyday problems rather than adding complexity.
The feature is now available on the Chrome mobile app and supports multiple languages, making outdoor exploration a little easier — and a lot less confusing.
