Customer Reviews
YOU GUYS DON'T GET IT!!!
Okay so first of all, google translate is an amazing app. Muy impresionante. But I've been seeing reviews on how it's not translating some phrases correctly. I wanted to point out that Google translate translates your phrase into a literal translation. I am currently taking a Spanish class and most people that are also know this: Most languages say things differently from us. In Spanish, they use their wording differently and that's why Google translate does not translate 100% correct. It only translates what you put in. Not corrections, conjugations, verb placing.. It does not do that. And that's what you guys have to understand. This app is amazing but you can't expect it to make perfectly typed sentences that's gonna get you that A on your test. Google translate is more of the app you use just to check if what you wrote/saw/spoke, was correct. Learn the language instead of thinking Google translate is gonna do it all for you. Thanks.
Decent translation but terrible UX
Whoever is in charge of UX has never used this app him/herself. Google is trying to be all "cool" with trying to pick up when a person stops speaking but it ends up being a terrible design choice. People don't speak in unbroken sentences...they stop midway to think or to remember something or they repeat what they said or paraphrase it all. There are natural pauses that the app totally butchers.
The point being: push-to-talk is sorely missed in this app.
Another thing missing is the ability to correct voice recognition before it is translated. Google has no hope in the world of capturing all proper nouns and locations correctly so the biggest misrecognition comes from the translator trying to fit something totally different when the speaker named a place or person.
Excellent
All you can ask of an automatic translation program, at least currently, is that it convey the gist of what it is translating to the listener or reader without too many confusing errors. I have used five other translation apps, all of which got better ratings than this one. This program does the best job of all the other apps. I typically use it to translate small to medium sized texts -- mostly news articles. I can always figure out the meaning of the text with this app -- not so with the others. Google did a very nice job with this.
