zoom in photo translation does not work anymore
Zooming in a translated photo does not work properly anymore.
I used to take a photo of a text, the translator would translate it, and then I would zoom into the photo to see the translation of the text.
NOW, the superimposed translated text is not complete and if I zoom into the translated text, the translated text stays at the same size and only the original text is zoomed.
This happens with the latest version of the app: 3.2.6 on the latest version of iOS. This problem appeared recently.

Comparing Google Translate to Microsoft Translator on iPad
Two basic features which make Google’s app better:

Timeout problem
I use MS Translator a lot on my travels and generally find it to be a great tool, both online and offline.
However, I’ve found an issue today which would be great to get fixed. I’m currently in China and have put a Chinese SIM in my phone for 4G access. In China, access to some sites is restricted which I’m guessing might be causing the issue I’m experiencing. I have to put my phone into airplane mode for the Translator app to work now, if the data connection is active, the app just hangs in the home screen and…

Apple watch
Latest version 3.2.6 that's supposed to have "significantly improved support for Apple Watch" doesn't even show up as an app that can be installed on the watch! (I'm on watch OS 5.1)

Improve please
Translation is not even accurate, you disappoint me. For such a big company with such failure of translation, not even 75% accurate. Your iTranslate app is much better in terms of accuracy but can’t take pictures for translation. Yet powered by the same company, both apps for translation I use is from Microsoft but definitely there’s a gap between the pro and the non-pro.
Also another thing for improvement is the app. When I take the picture for translation there are words in picture and it says it can’t find anything??? Like you need to test the app before it…

Cambodia!!!
I have been traveling the world with the help of your app. I landed in Cambodia, looked up Khmer on your app and was shocked to find that your app has fake languages like Klingon but does not have a real language like Khmer. Cambodia is a lovely country and it would be easier to navigate if your app had the language.
