Answer 1

To add the above answers:

it is important that you pass two-letter language codes. With 3-letter codes, it may look like the google translate app does not receive any data.

In addition, if Intent.ACTION_VIEW does not work, you can use Intent.ACTION_SEND.

        intent = new Intent();
        //intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_VIEW); // this did not work for me initially
        intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
        intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, m_text);
        intent.putExtra("key_text_input", m_text);
        intent.putExtra("key_text_output", "");
        intent.putExtra("key_language_from", m_language);
        intent.putExtra("key_language_to", lang_to);
        intent.putExtra("key_suggest_translation", "");
        intent.putExtra("key_from_floating_window", false);
        intent.setComponent(
            new ComponentName(
                "com.google.android.apps.translate",
                "com.google.android.apps.translate.HomeActivity"
                ));
    //try {
        startActivityForResult(intent, REQUEST_CODE_TRANSLATE);
    //...
