Update the app, go to language settings, and enable the translation feature. Android can also translate if you select the text, and then select translate from the popup menu, though maybe not on all devices.

Or learn Chinese.

Or learn Chinese

This is a good option too, but I think it's going to take a while to pay off. I can accurately respond to a question about my nationality now, but that's about it for the moment.

Thanks for the encouragement! I absolutely will keep at it.
