    With Google Translate, we can translate any language to any language. Apertium only allows the translation of specific languages to other specific ones. Eg.: Portuguese to only Catalan, Spanish and Galician, but not English, French or German like Google Translate does.

    First and foremost: privacy-first and a way to "De-Google". That said: Excellent and unique features that Google Translate doesn't have.
