Comment summary: Google Translate is valued for its accessibility and speed, particularly in its mobile app version, which users find impressive for translating with a camera. While it's user-friendly and offers quick translations, it's not always accurate, requiring users to adjust the translations themselves for better results. Despite its limitations, it provides a general idea of translations and is appreciated for being readily available. Comparisons to alternatives like PROMT and Lingoes highlight differences in accuracy and additional functionalities.

Google Translate won't work without client-side JS at all...

This is a cool service, it helps a lot. I especially like the mobile app. Also translating with the camera is something amazing.

It doesn't always give the most accurate results, but it gives enough of a general idea.

We once had to write a passage in Spanish, about 2 pages long. I wasn't bothered enough, so I went straight onto Google Translator and did the deed. Next thing I know is I am on a week long detention course. My fault, but be warned not to use it when you are not supposed to, because it has its faults!

It gets it right enough that even if it's a bit off you still get the basic gist of the sentence. sure there is room for improvement but it gets the job done and is there when you need it.

Google Translate's mobile app is probably the nicest translation app around, for both iPhone and Android. Most 3rd-party mobile translators actually use Google Translate for their results; all they do is offer a user interface on top of it. But who better to design a user interface for Google Translate, than Google itself?
