### "Fast, Easy, And Phenomenally Accurate"

May 21, 2022

5.0

As a travel writer, I am often wandering through foreign markets looking for a good story or a great photo. This app allows me to interact and communicate with locals anywhere in the world—the audio read function was also essential in places like Russia, where I don't read the alphabet! Or other places where some of the local population may not be able to read their own script.

Pros

I use this software daily as an expat in Spain, and I love that it's simple and easy to just type and go. The app is lightweight, so it loads in an instant on a phone, and it's a cinch to reverse the arrow and translate in the other direction (Spanish to English and English to Spanish, for example). I also like the love photo translation! Point this app at a menu or a product label and the app translates the text in the camera!

Cons

It's certainly not feature rich if you want it to have bells and whistles. It's a lightweight app that just translates—that's all I want in a translation app (or on the website), so I think it's pretty ideal. The only downsides for Google Translate come from what all apps face: errors from machine translation. Google's error rate is lower than most though, so I love it.

Reason for choosing Translate

Because after paying for apps over the years that were specific to one country/language, I realized that Translate was robust and easy to use in a single app.

### "The only site for professional translation."

November 21, 2024

5.0

I use it for my private translations and I am very happy with it. It is very successful especially in business use.

Pros

I have never seen an easier translation site.

Cons

I didn't see any bad features and I didn't know about them.

### "Lost (and found) in Translation"

April 25, 2021

3.0

I have gratefully used this app in multiple situations. As previously mentioned, my older aunts and uncles in Iceland were not required to learn English in school and I shudder to think that their stories would be lost to me without translation that I can provide myself. I have also used this app to ask numerous questions in Spanish while vacationing in Mexico. Lastly, I work as an emergency dispatcher and cannot express the assistance that Google Translate has provided during calls with ESL issues within the Spanish, Tagalog, Chinese, Korean, and Russian communities.

Pros

It's free... WOW! I will be a major Word of Mouth reference source. I was super impressed to find Icelandic as a language option. I cannot say the same for the other top rated translation apps. In addition, the ability to have a "conversation" with my non English-speaking older relatives is amazing!

Cons

Icelandic is a difficult language, and Google Translate is somewhat antiquated with the current speech patterns and verbiage. I would like to see alternative option pop ups for particular words and or phrases that in turn would alter the message all together if needed.

### "Translate review"

September 30, 2024

5.0

Pros

Makes it incredibly easy to communicate quickly with patients when asking simple questions.

Cons

In depth conversations can still have some miscommunication but it is mitigated with this app.

### "I solve many doubts with this software "

October 5, 2018

4.0

A good software that I recommend, however as I recommend using it, I also recommend that this software be used along with other language translators in order to get the translation of words, sentences and texts more accurate and appropriate to the idea that tries to reflect the author.

Pros

Translate is another software that is never missing in my day-to-day work, and I say this because sometimes I receive documents, written research, cultural proposals and libretti that are not written in my original language. Although I speak three languages sometimes I need support to understand some words and sentences and their meanings, and translate is indicated for this task, as it allows me to introduce the word or sentence that at the time I do not understand or do not remember and translate, giving me an approximate idea of what the text is trying to express. This tool is very functional and I use it permanently.

Cons

When I make the comparison with other software I have noticed that it does translations that are not faithful to the general ideas described in the text, this reduces a little my productivity, since the translations or readings that I make try to be as accurate as possible and this software sometimes does not allow me.

### "Ability to translate any document"

August 10, 2021

5.0

Translate is an excellent tool to translate any text easily, it offers me several levels of translation and has different capabilities that make it a very professional job to speak in another language with my clients.

Pros

I really like using translate, as it is a very easy to use tool and has a very comfortable and intuitive interface. In addition, this tool allows me to translate any text or translate by voice and also has the possibility of hiring a human translation.

Cons

The only thing I don't like about this tool is that it can get slow or cumbersome at times and has limitations regarding my translations.

### "The Most Reliable Translate Tool!"

November 24, 2019

5.0

I have been using this tool for a year and I feel very satisfied with the features offered. I recommend all of you who read this to immediately use Translate as your translator!

Pros

I use Translate as my trusted translation tool to write some important tasks and assignments. Translate is very helpful because it offers a method of translation that is really accurate and doesn't sound like a robot. I really like this tool!

Cons

The full version is quite expensive, but the free version is still available, but I recommend upgrading to the full version so you can experience the full features.

### "Strengthens my work programs thanks to the translation of documents"

July 23, 2018

5.0

Pros

Translate is a complementary program that I frequently use when strengthening my work programs and my proposals in the Foundation where I work. This is thanks to the documents I am reading in other languages, where my weaknesses are complemented by this powerful tool and I can analyze new trends, new sports-community approaches, collaborative and synergy, necessary to strengthen my activities together with the communities. Translate has a powerful word search engine which translates to the language you want, in order to be able to read the documents you are reading in other languages. It should be noted that it is very easy to use. I recommend it without hesitation for all those who, like me, need to translate certain words and texts.

Cons

I have noticed that it is not very reliable in this program to put large excerpts of texts, since sometimes you lose the real sense of what you want to read or write. It only works to contextualize certain ideas and sentences.

### "TRANSLATE"

October 24, 2018

5.0

I start to use this software because I always have the same problem with my drivers when they pick any material for a company, sometimes they wanted to ask something and because of the language they get frustrated, sometimes they called me and I asks for them, but sometimes I don't have the time to answer the phone and my son told me about this software, for me and for my drivers this software helps me a lot, I save time, fewer calls, fewer problems, I give you this software a 10. Note: I download on​ my computer and the drivers download in their cells phones.

Pros

I like this software because is easy to use and fastest way to understand people from other languages, my native language is Spanish and sometimes I have a hard time trying to understand people and sometimes they don't understand me, I definitely recommended this software.

Cons

I don't have anything to say about any negative comment on this software, because for me this product covers​ all the expectations I need to use.

Pros

it is very accurate! it does not give awkward translations that don't make realistic sense.

Cons

I don't know how to leave a phrase off a sentence in English if I don't want that particular word translated, but it's easy enough to figure out.

Pros

\- We can translate words, sentence from 1 language to other language with ease. - There are 2 options for translation in the website Machine translation and Professional translation we can choose one as per our need.

### "So easy to use!"

February 12, 2020

4.0

I have not experienced any problems with Translate. It is very easy to use!

Pros

This software is incredibly easy to use. I work in a bilingual environment, so it makes it easy to offer options both in English and French for our Franco-American community.

Cons

There is nothing I dislike about this software, but I'd imagine it is difficult for them to compete with other software sources such as Google Translate.

### "Easy to use for translating between different languages"

December 3, 2018

4.0

Pros

Allows you to read text from other languages. The best use for this software is when you do not understand a language, you can put the text in to get the English version. It is not perfect and you have to to try guess the meaning sometimes from the rest of the text. I recommend it for translating from a different language to your own language, but if you try to use it from your language to other languages it will not be good enough.

Cons

Some translations will not make sense, as sometimes the same word could have multiple meanings and the correct one might not be picked

### "Multilingual, multipurpose"

October 9, 2018

4.0

I use this app for quick translations of common words and expressions, but I go to Google Docs for translations of longer documents.

Pros

A wide variety of languages is offered, more than the causal user would ever need. The ease of entering texts and the rapid translation are also positive features.

Cons

This is a handy app for short texts and common phrases, but not readily geared to full length documents.

### "Good but not excellent"

October 13, 2020

4.0

The service offers what it promises, paid human translation, translation review ... For professionals the service is excellent

Pros

The differential of the service is the human translation, being translations by professionals and having reviews of translations

Cons

They could be better when it comes to prices and the free option could offer more options and alternatives, maybe if the service prices were a little lower it would be more attractive in general

### "Translate's Inefficiency"

August 17, 2021

4.0

Translate can be good for small quick translation but if you want very accurate translations for important scenarios then I wouldn't recommend translate.

Pros

Translate has a variety of languages and has a machine translator and a professional translator which allows for more options depending on what you want to translate and your urgency. Translate has a copy feature which allows you to easily type out your translations and the mic feature on the software can allow you to hear the translation as well. On the Translate app there is a camera option and a handwriting option which can be really useful if you cant directly type out what you what to translate.

Cons

The features on Translate can be helpful expect they are not always accurate for example, there have been times when the camera can't detect the language you are trying to translate and the handwriting features also messes up sometimes. Translate's biggest problem however is its inability to translate colloquialism. The majority of slang or local words cannot be translated which can make its use difficult if the person or phrase on the other end doesn't understand the situation.

I primarily use this software with my global business contacts, but within my agency and on the client-side. It has been great to allow for seamless conversations with team members from across the globe

Pros

### "Excellent Tool; More Accurate than Google Translate"

May 25, 2020

5.0

We're figuring out ways to connect with customers who do not primarily speak English. Our organization is in a diverse community, so it really expands our market by having the ability to at least attract clients who are not comfortable with English.

Pros

The accuracy of Translate.com has been the strongest selling point. It routinely provides more accurate results than Google Translate. We're only using the free trial right now, but we will likely upgrade and begin using the subscription-based services in the near future.

Cons

I have no complaints right now, as we are only on the free version of Translate. The only errors we have come across have been in certain quotations and block quotes.
