Comments and Reviews

   
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.

i used this to translate everything because it is easy to use and fast

Very useful for quick translations, travel, and reading foreign text. The camera and voice features work well, but longer sentences and idioms are not always translated naturally. It is a great tool, but context and nuance could still be better.

Compared to DeepL, the only drawback is the translation quality. On average, it's worse. Otherwise, there are only advantages: a lightweight web page, very high responsiveness (translation is almost instantaneous), no limit on the number of translated documents, no captchas, accessibility without a VPN, the availability of alternative translations, and verification of them through reverse translation (the translation to the source language).

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!

Android Starters - a 3rd Opinion

Fond of testing out new phones? Fond of using LineageOS and other custom ROMs? Yes, me too! It can be just a pain to keep track of all those apps, so I created this list to help myself and others. I try to stay away from big companies that spy a lot and also rather tend to open source wherever possible. PS: Don't run dry - always keep looking for alternatives. Always try to have another app as fallback. As so often in life, relying solely on one single thing will bring DOOM! PS2: Still work in progress...

What is Google Translate?

Google Translate is an online translation tool that provides instantaneous translation services for text and web pages across a diverse range of up to 110 languages. The features provided by this tool vary according to the language being utilized.

The platform allows users to translate between languages by typing the text into the interface. It also supports offline translations, enabling users to translate text without needing an internet connection. For image-based text, Google Translate offers an instant camera translation feature, where users can translate text by simply pointing their camera at the image. This feature also extends to photos, whether they are taken directly or imported.

In addition to text and image translation, Google Translate also caters to spoken language. It can translate spoken words and phrases through its dictation feature, and even allows for the translation of bilingual conversations as they occur. The tool can also transcribe, translating the speech of a person speaking a different language in near real-time. For users who prefer to draw text characters instead of typing, Google Translate offers a handwriting feature. Lastly, it includes a phrasebook feature where users can star and save translated words and phrases for future reference.
