It didn’t really work out

When I was typing something in English I wanted to know what it said in Korean so used this app, then sent it to my dad who speaks Korean. He said it was all wrong!!

Slow down the translation

I love this app but one thing I hope that they will incorporate is to slow down the speech. To make sure the words are being pronounced correctly especially when learning myself and having to teach my daughter. Other then that loving this app. Thank you!

Need to continually update and add new features

This app is so much better than Microsoft translator. I used it first set a lot of messages on social media to new friends only to find out those messages were a jumbled mess of random words. They assume you lack the skills and ability process thoughts into Russian even with translator. It’s hard to come back from. I love that you can translate live with the camera because a lot of times I’m watching a broadcast or something and trying to keep up with everyone. The thing however that frustrates me the most about all apps including this one is that they tend to stop listening before the conversation has ended. Whether I just push the button and let go or cold it during the entire time after certain. It’s stops listening and you have to stop the sound if you’re lucky enough to be able to rewind it. I would like it to be easier to use within an app and not have to copy and paste etc. but overall I really like it it’s the one I use most and I’ve got some I paid for that just don’t stack up.

Can’t actually translate photos

Let the app have all the permissions. Still can’t figure out how to translate a photo from my library. Camera just does a stupid live translation thing. Pretty terrible app to not have photo translation easily available

Google helps bridge culture gaps with amazing free app- Bravo Google!

Wow, the real-time translate feature while using the camera is incredibly interesting fun to use, and it works really well! Technology in 2019 is amazing, and although I’ve not yet researched googles business goals/ethics/values etc etc in great depth I’ll say as a disclaimer, I have to say that I admire and appreciate google releasing such a useful and powerful app for FREE! The fact I can just copy and paste whole huge paragraphs, not just a few words or sentences- of French text for example, and have the phones “speak text” feature audibly read back everything in English, or vice versa is really amazing and I recall other apps demanding a hefty premium in order to offer similar services. It has the potential to bridge the gap between ethnicities- I manage a wholesale bakery and the other night I couldn’t understand what one of the employees was trying to say to me in Spanish- by using the “speak to text” feature on the keyboard, it writes down everything someone says then google translate reads it back to me in English- I was able to figure out what she wanted to communicate, and subsequently was able to focus my energy on resolving the issue at hand instead of playing “charades” trying to guess what she was saying. Thanks GOOGLE translate! I’m very impressed and appeased by this free app, not sure how anyone could have anything bad to say but hey, it’s a diverse world and a free country so although I may not agree, I can definitely respect anyone’s differing opinion :) Blessings - L.M.

Not very useful

Often times the app won’t translate the words correctly and makes me look stupid when the person who speaks a different language is trying to understand what I’m saying then I realize later I said it completely wrong.

UM, what’s going on?

This used to be my go to for looking up words in Japanese and lately it’s not giving me any results. I type it in Japanese and the translation is literally the word that I typed in but in roman letters. Then I type a word in English and the translation is trash. It gives me said word in half roman letters and half Japanese characters. It’s so frustrating! Please fix this issue. I’ve already downloaded a different translator and I’m bummed out that I had to do that because the Google translator seemed so promising.
