Google translate with offline speech input?

Anyone know how to get Google Translate working with offline speech input (e.g. in airplane mode) on the Idol 3? This worked for me on my old Moto phone running KK (actually, running CM11). But on the Idol 3, I can do offline translation via typing (having downloaded the relevant offline language packs), and I can get the app to speak either the typewritten input or output, but when I tap the microphone to activate speech input, I get a never-ending "initializing" message. Voice typing itself works offline (e.g. I can compose a notepad note), just not within Google Translate.

You might try installing the google offline voice xposed module....you might also have luck using a keyboad like swiftkey that has it's own voice input button.

I can update a bit. If I go to settings/Language & Input/Voice Input and select "Basic Google Recognition", then Translate will most of the time (not always) recognize my speech input offline (as noted before I have no issues in other apps, so I can't see where swiftkey would help), for going from English to the other language of interest (in this case, Japanese). And the phone will speak the Japanese translation. But going in the other direction does would not work. I have the Japanese offline language pack installed, so that is not the issue. The issue may be that I didn't have Japanese as an installed "Downloaded Language" under "Offline speech recognition". I have now taken care of that, (it requires knowing how to write "Japanese" in kanji characters), but seemingly it still doesn't work offline (I don't have a good Japanese speaker available to test, but with an internet connection the app recognizes my poor Japanese. But not offline.)

Have you considered using a dedicated app for your translations rather than google? I know I picked up one or two as amazon free apps. One was http://www.amazon.com/Jourist-Verla...1440539636&sr=1-1&keywords=travel+interpreter
I mention it because you may want to review "similar apps" and see if any are free and will suit your purpose.

I am new to this, I have copied the repo software onto my SD card. What do I do now? I still have no offline voice recognition.

Had similar probl w s4
Switch to google txt 2 spch engine
Instsll translation dats of choice for offline use
Can translate foreign language offline to eng but not eng to foreign language
Suspect can only translate to default language with free app offline...no rev for google

Update on MT7-TL10C00B561

Hi Guys, really need ur help here. This morning I just get notification that there's an update for the software to MT7-TL10C00B561, I download it and then installed, but just realize that this is the chinese version and my browser turn to chinese (I think it's baidu).
Is there any way for the browser to turn like before and change the search option in browser to google.com?
Thanks.

Have you still got Gapps?, Just install Opera Mini browser with add blocking.

Hi Robbow..Which Gapps do you mean?
I don't get any preinstalled Gapps from this…can you recommend any good browser? or is Opera is the best out there??

So the ROM is fully Chinese then. They aren't allowed to have google over there. I find that incredible. This is 2016 FFS. Talk about government censorship.
IMO, ditch that ROM and get one meant for your area. Which area? Someone may be able to advise which ROM would be suitable.

Yes the app that came along is also Chinese.. I think it's because this phone is specifically for Chinese customer..
But I find it hard to believe that in this time, we still have this kind of limitations.. ?
If I get the new Rom, do I have to downgrade it first or just installed it?
I tried to download Rom from the official site of Huawei, but it can't be installed as it failed.

I use b561 in English and set google as default
I'm a Chinese user who has also updated my MT7 to b561.
I can use Google Play service and Default Browser with google (in fact I use Chrome more)
The default browser in b561 is a specially modified version of UCWeb, a popular browser in China which is famous for fast rendering.
The language for that browser follows the system setting, so if you want to change the language:
1. -Go setting, an app named "设置". You may find it by its gear-like icon.
2. -Advanced Setting, which is "高级设置".
3. -Language and Input, which is something like "语言".
4. -Choose English.
The browser and system should be in ENG now.
Then change the default search engine.
1. Go to browser.
2. Press menu button (three bars in the bottom)
3. Setting (gear-like icon on the bottom-left
4. Browser setting
5. Default search engine > "谷歌" (Chinese name for google)
Plus, if you want to install Google play,
you can simply install it from HiApp (the Chinese version of app store), simply search "google play"
* You may need to sign up a HUAWEi account to use HiApp

Using this thread.
After the same update, push notifications from Gmail, eBay and others now arrive only occasionally, while before they arrived online.
What to do?

Ummm, I think you need to pay for it.

You can have a vip service for trial. But you need to pay for it then.
My suggestion is to use other music apps, since the built-in one is optimised for Chinese customers. I think the non-Chinese songs are not so abundant.

Google Assistant for S7 Edge has arrived!!

Hello guys. Today after some research on various websites i found out that google assistant for S7 Edge (and many other devices) has arrived. Method to enable it is easy. You must switch language to English US and install latest Google App (from apk mirror for example - installed latest beta). After a while when I long pressed home button google assistant setup appeared.
Enjoy
Ps. No root needed and at the moment assistant is only working when you set English US language, when i switched back to English UK assistant disappeared and normal ok google app appeared (so make sure you stay on English US).

This has been discussed in numerous other threads including the correct section:

HiKeyboard Language

Hello, since yesterday I am a proud owner of the Honor Magic 2.
But how can I change the language of the stock HiKeyboard?
As you can see in the screenshot, there is no possibility for adding a language.
I want to have a german keyboard...
I hope someone can help me,
with kind regards
DGB

The only thing I can think of is, to install google services (if you don't have it) and install any keyboard app you like from play store
