Google Translate should soon offer translations for all these variants, along with examples of how they are used.

The upgraded contextual translations will be available for languages ​​such as English, French, German, Japanese and Spanish starting this month, with more to follow.
Meanwhile, the company recently released a redesign of Translate for Android.

Google says translations are now more readable, while an additional 33 languages ​​are available for device translation, including Basque, Hawaiian, Hmong, Kurdish, Sundanese, Yiddish, and Zulu.
