The new new languages added are Bosnian, Cebuano, Hmong, Javanese, and Marathi which represents about 183 million people worldwide. All of them except Bosnian are still in alpha, so there maybe a few hiccups when using them.
The update has also added some new languages to its camera scanning feature, which allows you to scan text with your device camera and translate it. This feature was first introduced last August with support for Czech, Dutch, English, French, German, Italian, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, and Turkish. Now Google has introduced support for an additional 16 languages: Bulgarian, Catalan, Danish, Estonian, Finnish, Croatian, Hungarian, Indonesian, Icelandic, Lithuanian, Latvian, Norwegian, Romanian, Slovak, Slovenian, and Swedish.
The most important inclusion is probably Phrasebook syncing which allows you to save phrases to your Phrasebook when you use Translate with text, voice or optical input. You can then recall these phrases at a later time. Google Translate also allows you to sign into your Google account and sync you Phrasebook across multiple devices.
The update is currently only available on the Android platform, but we expect it will eventually make its way to iOS and allow proper cross platform syncing of your Phrasebook.
