You need to launch an intent referencing the app id (package name) of the app in question. Try this:

public static void launchGoogleTranslateApp(Activity activity) {
    PackageManager manager = activity.getPackageManager();
    Intent intent = manager.getLaunchIntentForPackage("com.google.android.apps.translate");
    intent.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_LAUNCHER);
    activity.startActivity(intent);
}
