I have Google Translate and Papago installed on my Samsung phone. Both should work offline but neither does.

 

Both work well online for both text and speech recognition.

 

I have tried every advice/workaround I've found on the internet, but the advice never applies for some reason.

 

I'll be very grateful if you can help, but please try to avoid the uninstall/reinstall method!

 

Thank you

If your app is supposed to work offline maybe there is an option to download that part extra.

Like: normal use online, with some extra also offline use.

With google translate you download the language you need i.e. Thai

Thanks for the replies. The Thai language pack had already been downloaded and installed, and it still wasn't working, and I'd already tried uninstalling and reinstalling this and the Translate app, but I did it again, by a slightly different route, and now it works offline for text but not voice input. I have no idea what I was doing wrong. I don't think Google have yet made the voice input an option for Thai. This and Lens are very useful apps here!
