With the help of YouTube, the Google translation app can now be applied to music lyrics.
Traditionally, the Google translation app is used for translating text from one language to another. Users simply input the foreign language in one field, select the language they speak in the other field and are delivered a translation.
Although music is said to be a universal language, the fact is that lyrics are a major part of the equation. And while fans across the world enjoy popular music (much of which is in English), they don't always get the opportunity to understand what exactly the artists are saying. With this new extension of the Google translation app, titled Google Music Translate, there's no reason for any lyrics to get lost in translation.
Not only does this service translate the words of a song into your native tongue, it also reads them to you as the song's track plays.
