Abstract: A mobile translator is a mobile application that can be utilised for translating from English to any other dialect, and vice versa. The problem of language difference has hindered effective information communication over the years. There have been difficulties in information communication amid countries over the years. In modern times, language interpreters must understand and speak both the language been translated to and verse-visa. This traditional approach used for solving the problem of language differences has not been productive and favourable. Also, the teaching of different languages can be difficult due to language difference problems. The individual will also have to be taught by a tutor who will incur extra expenses and may not be the most efficient and favourable method. Therefore, the study develops an android phone language converter app in other to make learning and language translation easy and facilitates stress-free communication. The proposed language translation uses Google’s real- time translation API natural language processing with Java programming language to develop the application. The most used languages globally (i.e., English, Spanish, Arabic, Hindi, French, and Chinese) were used for the android application translation. This application can be useful for Tourists for communication purposes, thus allowing them to integrate with the local people and access the right information. The system will also be able to evaluate language translation to determine their suitability for everyday conversation; given the fact that it is an android application, one will always be willing to use their phone to learn, compared to having them on a computer or learn from a physical tutor when your phone can be your tutor. The application was evaluated based on the classification time the memory usage, and the battery life all through distinctive use.
