Quoted:
"Until today, Neural Machine Translation required an internet connection, with offline translation on mobile continuing to use the old phrase-based approach that broke sentences up into smaller parts and did not incorporate context or the broader meaning of what’s being converted.
Starting this month, NMT works on-device for Android and iOS in 59 languages. Language sets are only 35-45MB in size and also run on lower-powered devices. The end result should be offline translations that are more accurate and nearly on par with the quality users expect when an internet connection is available.
Neural Machine Translation will be rolling out to all Android and iOS users over the next few weeks. When available, users that already use offline translations will see a banner on the home screen to update existing files."
