Where Does Google Translate Store History and Packs?
Where Google Translate keeps history and offline packs on Android and iPhone, and what the account holds.
Last updated
Translate pairs account stars with device packs. Your login holds saved phrases and history. The phone caches offline language models privately for airplane use.
That split matters abroad. Stars return instantly, packs need redownload. Android may show a Translate folder under Android data for cache on some builds. iPhone keeps it in the app container. For moves, sign in covers history while languages need fresh fetches. Camera packs are separate downloads per language. Check the in app storage readout when sizes look wrong on different releases.
