Version 7.18.2

I used this app for many years as my constant companion in Europe. Then for no reason they have changed everything so it is impossible to use on the go: where there was one screen with everything visible and accessible now it is impossible to navigate to see history and impossible to use it as a working vocabulary and phrase book as you could before - they have destroyed it so I have deleted it after 7 years of constant use - completey stupid to change it, but then of course people who work in IT have to change things for no reason or they would have nothing to do. I used to work in IT, I get it, it’s very boring, but that is no reason to be constantly changing things for no reason and ruining people’s experience - too late for google translate - its gone and I am no longer recommending it to people whereas before I used to always recommend it.

Version 7.18.2

Basically I came across hundred of words not being translated correctly. Then I went on Google search and the translation was perfect. I do not understand it. Why? The app is Google’s app. Why on Earth Google search is many time better than Google translate. Another huge flaw is that often it offers you a single translation. As you know often you need to know various translations of the same word. Also you need to know verb, noun, adjective etc. form. The only reason I use it is to have a list of translated words so I can study them later.

Terrible update.

2023-10-29

Version 7.16.1

I agree with others that old version was more intuitive and much easier to use. Not as much scrolling, you could see multiple translations quickly, and your recent translations were quickly visible (rather than you having to go into a different history section). And if I type a word in English to find out what it is in another language, I want examples of the word in the other language, not in English, which I know already!

Version 7.16.0

Like someone mentioned in another review, idk how I feel about the new interface, I preferred old translations saved at the bottom as it’s way easier to look back on the words you translated before. Also what’s wrong with the scroll button? I can’t seem to scroll to the end of the translation on an iPhone and it’s really annoying because I can’t see the actual meaning of the word, only various translation options. Really hope this feedback helps and is taken into account as I use google translate quite often and wouldn’t want to use another app.

Inferior to the web version in pretty much every way way.

Version 7.15.0

After update it’s not comfortable to use , Previously, when you opened the application, the last words were at the bottom.

Now for example i read english books to improve my language and i would like to translate any world , if i forgot the translation i need to write again this word .

When I want to translate russian word but my app was English - Russian ,when i change language to Russian into English it changes word I need , so I need to remove the word and write correct one again .

I used Google translate for about 10 years or more but now i need to find another one app.

Improvements needed

2023-10-10

Version 7.15.0

I like Google Translate. However it needs a large"X" button on the main screen that is easy to get to without needing to go through some other steps first.They've also made it a lot more complicated to delete your search history (I guess this is intentional to sell your data), this should be easy too. I preferred the previous versions, before the app redesign.

I love using this app, especially when I’m in a foreign country because I can now learn some words before I go, but also talk to them in real time using my iPhone. please keep up the fantastic work when updating this app and please keep making it 100% accessible to everybody. I am blown away by how fantastic this app is and I urge everybody to give it a try. You will not be disappointed. Thank you Google yet again you have developed an amazing product.

Not very often I leave a review but the latest update has ruined this app. So disappointed :( Not intuitive at all, can’t select text and send to home like before. It’s sends 2 identical English translations- what’s the point of that?! Doesn’t seem to store translation history & I have to close and reopen to view a new screenshot. So annoying. I used it to help learn Chinese characters but can’t copy the original Chinese text now

Version 7.9.0

The translator seems unable to cope with idioms giving literal translations that are often wrong or make no sense. Also has a problem using UK English, it always goes for the American spelling of words despite UK English being selected which is frustrating. Some words do not seem to be in the language database and so translation becomes impossible without using another app

What’s happened with this app?

2023-04-26

Version 6.50.1

I’ve been using this app for a few years and I like that it is intelligent and the more I use it the better it gets. I’ve come to rely on it and it’s never let me down until recently.

For the last couple of months, when I try to use the app, I get a consistent message of:

“Network Error: Google Translate was unable to establish a network connection to fulfil your request. Please check your network connection and try again.”

This message comes up regardless of whether I’m using the mobile/cell network or WiFi and all other apps and services in my phone are connected and working without issue. I’ve also downloaded the offline dictionary and data but this makes no difference.

Can someone please advise? Or, better still, patch/fix the app or provide some guidance? I don’t want to start again with another app!

Hello google translate ok I love love love your app but there is one issue you see my family speak Kurdish ( sorani) and whenever my relatives can read something in English and don’t understand it they translate it to Kurdish you might be thinking what is your problem? My problem is that you can’t scan English to Kurdish you can only type it and I can’t type the Kurdish language and that is a big issue for me because sometimes I want to translate my Kurdish books to English so I can understand it but I can’t because you can’t scan it please make a update Google translate I love your app please make it better

( please add all the other languages that you can’t scan to have the access to scan and not just Kurdish)

I visiting my fathers friends house for drinks in France, they don’t really speak English and usually I sit there listening but miss understand just about everything. I bought “I-translate pro” and it was just about hopeless, it either miss translated, got confused or put French words in for words it could not translate, in my frustration I Installed “ Google Translate” this was a complete opposite, amazing software, I placed phone on table and it was keeping up with conversation, at times it appeared to be stuck, but as was continuous conversation it would suddenly pop up with a paragraph of text perfectly translated, when there where words we didn’t know it could translate French to English and back again. I finally felt like I could join in on the conversation. I highly recommend this software.

Offline translation no longer working

2022-09-01

I’ve been using this as my main translation app for years, but recently the offline translation mode hasn’t been working. It lets you download language files with the idea of not needing internet to translate, which I often won’t have if abroad.

This used to work, but now it just won’t translate unfortunately. I’m forced to look for another app.

Good until it recently went slow

This app has been very useful and is more accurate than Facebook translate, especially in translating from Thai. But for the past month it has taken ages to load, change language or enable text to be pasted into the window for translation. The waits can be as long as a minute. Previously this app had been usable during live conversation, but not any more since this glitch. I have the latest version installed, so maybe it is a flaw in that update. Please solve this Google.

This is amazing ✨✨👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

I am like 10 years old and I was trying to find a app so I can translate someone if they came from Ukraine because we know the case right now, I have 2 things that I like about this app. 1st thing that I like about it is that you don’t have to pay!!! 2nd thing is that you can translate voice, text, and if something is written on paper or something you can scan it!!!

I love this!

My most used app

–

MoliYang47

–

2022-02-05

I don’t use this app to translate directly, but to check sentences that I have made myself to make sure they somewhat make sense.

I use this app very heavily!!!! So would love to see some improvements in these areas:

> Text box: when writing and editing sentences, the text box is so so small! If I need to scroll back to the beginning of my text, it is fiddly. Especially on a tablet. There’s so much space that could be used, yet the text box only takes up 1/8 of the screen!

> I have the app on my tablet and phone. I have a few saved phrases on each device, but seemingly they are not synced. I would love that because then I can access all the saved phrases -and maybe even history!- from one device!

Last update makes me not use the app anymore

2022-02-03

As someone else wrote on here, the last update of the app literally rendered it useless. The translated text now had random words added to it (words that are not in the original text), it is tricky to select and copy the text and translation, … . Looking for other translation apps now, as Google translate now isn’t helpful at all. I really wish you would go back to the old version as I enjoyed the simplicity of the app and the fact that it is easy to use

Alright Language App but...

I used to use this as my language and translation app until my friends told me about this iTranslate app made by Apple only available with products made by them on Apple Store. This app is better because it has several more languages and the app is easy to use and can be used without mobile data or a WiFi connection. And I’m pretty sure Google Translate needs mobile data or a WiFi connection to be used. However iTranslate does not have the thing were you can take a photo and translate it, which by the way I think is amazing so well done Google on that one!! However if several more languages were added then I’m sure Google Translate would be my app again, however if some countries don’t allow Google in it, then I would obviously understand. Please add other languages!! Because I have a pen pal who’s language isn’t on here but however it’s on iTranslate. And I know now days you probably want to be better than people like Apple and Microsoft. But you are, I love all your other apps especially Google Lens. Please sort out my problem and if you could I would be ever so grateful because that would mean when my pen pal sends me a letter I could use the camera translate option to translate the letter I get given, and if you do add more languages he will be able to Translate mine.

Thanks much,

Noah Ward

Please fix just one thing...!

This app is invaluable but has one really annoying design flaw. After importing an image an scanning for recognisable characters you can highlight text to translate. So far, so good. However, if the text you need to translate doesn’t fit in the one-line box that pops up then you have to press the little arrow to expand. Again, so far, so good. However, now if you want to go back to the image to check out a different part you have to go back to the start and scan the whole image again. If you’re trying to figure out which part of an image you actually need to translate this is a real pain! Perhaps I’m kissing something obvious but if not, this is the one thing I’d like to see changed.

You are more likely to read 1* reviews. I actually enjoy your app

The part of the app i am pointing towards is within the voice or conversation modes. Specifically i am talking about the amount of time set between the last spoken word and the apps decision to begin translation. The current time setting is too short to allow for various linguistic traits and a setting to allow for either extending or shortening this specific time period would make the app a lot more user friendly.

Currently both pausing for thought and telling a joke with any level of comedy timing is impossible.

On the power of jokes alone this should be something you should consider looking into.

Ok

It translates words but you have to check for further translations because sometimes it gives the wrong word.

It's more convenient than other translation apps.

The camera translate a picture function doesnt offer any transtation at all. When i hold the paper and it captures it, it offers words in changing languages and not in english, and only random words, not enough to understand the sentence - basically useless.

Fantastic!!!

Google Translate is amazing - not only is it really quick to use, there are lots of ways to use it - for example, you can literally just take a picture of any writing (whatever language) and it can translate it or tell you what it means in English by simply scanning it through !!! It’s a really useful app to use at home and on the go!

An absolutely 5 star!!

Just wanna thank google for making communication with my bf a lot easier. We are from different countries speaking different languages, and trying to speak each other’s mother tongue as much as possible. While we are struggling with foreign language acquisition, at least google translate makes the language barrier easier to overcome and I sincerely want to thank google for that.

Great product

I am taking German at school and this is really helpful with the of word or phrase. It is fairly accurate and easily accessible. However the best bit is the fact that if gives you all the different tools, that other apps make you pay for , for free. This is a great app for anyone and I would really recommend. The reason it lost a star was that sometimes it isn’t 100% accurate.

Great app for when you are abroad!

Amazing app for when you are in an unfamiliar country. It can translate street signs as well as talking to someone (for example in a shop to buy something) and you talk and it translates it to their language and then they speak and it’s translated into your language. Would definitely recommend to any holiday goers as a great app!

Frustrating!

I thought, Oooh i’ll use google translate to look at what this long letter means, every time you click something it makes you have to type all over again which is infuriating when you’ve typed 2 paragraphs?! it’s slow and unresponsive at times -all the time- and it’s just SO BAD in general. i know that nobody is going to reply to this and there just going to push it to the bottom of the reviews to keep their ‘5 star ratings’ up ya know what, unless these issues are solved i’m going to keep telling people to use itranslate instead!

Its very easy to translate words in different languages with google translate! I really like the import image tool to help me translate screenshots! However, I think translating Chinese to English is very difficult with this app and not accurate enough. But other than that, this app is perfect as you can even change the accents of the speaker!

Perfect app

I live in Greece and just cannot get my head around learning the language properly. I speak French and German but Greek defeats me. I’ve tried numerous translation app before and they are rubbish. This was recommended by a Swedish friend who lives here and it is brilliant. My Greek friends say the translations are 99% correct due to regional variations like any language. I can now hold proper conversations in Greek either written or spoken. I can’t say what the other languages are like. For Greek this is perfect and highly recommended. 10/10

Love this app!

This is a amazing way to learn a new language and to communicate with others who don’t speak the same language as you. This is a family friendly app that anyone could use this app. This app has helped me learn a new language that I will remember so my experience of using this app is a very good one.

An amazing and must have app

I’ve been using Google Translate for many years, before it was even an app. Over the years I noticed a remarkable progress in the quality of language translation not just from and to English but also from and to French and Russian. The addition of image recognition made it an indispensable travel companion. We are now at the beginning of synchronous speech translation, which is the promise of a future in which less language will die and we will all benefit from the diversity of world views it will enable to safeguard. Bravo Google!

Voice for “Hebrew” “Azerbaijani” “Scots Gaelic” “Irish” “Malay”

“Zulu” “Persian” And “Slovenian”, From me, Please do these languages google, or at least some, ok now I don't use this app (I use online version) but Urdu (scary text) Kannada And Gujarati has voices and it's maybe not true or not but. Hebrew Azerbaijani Scots Gaelic Irish Malay Zulu Persian Slovenian will have voices in December (have stuff from Wikipedia so maybe False information) but Urdu Kannada And Gujarati voices are true! 😌 but not urdu text 😈 maybe do app again soon. Thanks to my sonic the hedgehog tails plushie he save the day for Urdu text :) THANKS TAILS

When I try to use the translation offline for a pre downloaded language, it doesn’t work when it says it supposed to work which is very frustrating because I rely on it to learn Russian phrases to help me learn Russian. Please fix it ASAP. This is the only app I like and I don’t want to have to give it up because of something that should already be working!

Amazing! 10/10 recommend!

Hiiiii! I wanna say thanks for making this app, and I love it. But can you just fix something about it? Idk what to put here lol. Anyway, I've been planning on learning Russian since day 1. Mostly because I wanted to understand what it meant. First time, I only knew "mama" and "papa" which translated to "mum" and "dad". So I thought to download this app, and I deleted it for a short while, but I redownloaded it. Now on most days after school, I often learn Russian on this app. And I feel like my learning progress has slowly gotten better as each day passes by. I am not joking, the progress gets better everyday! :D

This app is brilliant ! I never really write reviews but I went travelling to Europe for 3 weeks visiting France, Germany, Switzerland and Italy in my VW camper van and so arriving at campsites or airs along the way this app came into use a lot to be able to scan/translate what signs said or leaflets we received ect throughout our travels. This was also very helpful doing our grocery shop and being able take a picture of a label and scan the translation. I would highly recommend this app to anybody who is travelling to Europe or help with any language barriers. I don’t really like paying for apps, but this would be one of which I would pay for. Highly recommend !!

Hi, I’m from England and I’m half British half Pakistani. My whole family is practically from Pakistan and they can’t speak English and I cant speak Bihari so I want to learn.I also go to high school learning French and it’s really hard because I also want to learn Chinese on my own and it is really confusing until I found this app. It is really helpful and I’ll use it when I go to spain with my family!

Just one tiny detail. Is it alright if you could add a setting where you can change the words of the learning language myself so I can understand how to pronounce it because looking at symbols is like looking at pictures ; i can’t read it at all! If you don’t understand what I mean , then here is an example :

“ Zaijian “ means “ goodbye “ in Chinese.

“ Wo a ni “ means “ I love you “ in Chinese.

If you still don’t understand then download the mondly app and inspire from that please but the reason why I don’t use mondly instead of this app is because they won’t let me take the lessons for free.

Thank you for reading my review!👍

Zaijian,

Great app

I love this app its quite accurate, but I have to say as English is not my mother language that some lines are not correct as we say it differently as they are in English, so it would be great if the system is actually recognise even that. Second thing is that it would be really great if this live translation works even on writing message for example if you know the word in the other language you start writing it and it automatically pop up in suggestions this is not happening even when you add keyboard language so that would be great. Apart from that the app is on the good way.

too much tapping

please make it easier to QUICKLY translate things. I don't want to have to open the app, tap the text box, wait for keyboard to appear, X out existing text in text box, hold down for menu to appear, tap paste, tap go... too many steps and very inconvenient if I'm translating frequently.

suggestion: have optional setting that automatically puts cursor in empty text box when open/switch back to the app. also have button to "paste and go"

Currently living and working in Marne region, France. To my shame I speak no French apart from hello and goodbye and a VERY limited number of English speakers at my location, so this app helps me enormously in day to day life. For example, I managed to specify all of my furniture requirements for my rented apartment from English to French. The most tricky part was specifying a kettle in order to make tea etc. Thanks Google🤓

Amazing!

Have used this app for a while to translate the odd word or phrase to another language. The ability to now use the camera to allow the app to scan written/printed foreign language (in my case it was Thai) is what this app needed to make it 5** I’m amazed by this. Anyone who has seen written Thai will know it looks like a load of scribble! This app can translate a whole page of printed Thai!! I absolutely love it and would highly recommend to anyone who travels frequently or needs to quickly and easily understand anything written in a foreign language

Kudos to you - absolutely awesome! Travellers must have.

Google - you just keep getting better. Don’t get me wrong, it’s probably not 100% accurate because we all use language differently but at least you can have a conversation - that’s the important bit!

I can cast away the boredom of future journeys and speak to people. I can now ask a question and not second guess. I may even use it to help my business! One of the biggest hurdles has just been reduced.

Very useful

Very handy in a country with lots of accents and non English letter groupings to be able to take a photo and have it translated just like that. Instant translation, where it puts the words over the images before you take a photo, is a good idea in principle but currently doesn’t seem to correctly translate much, although having taken the photo it is able to detect and translate every word

Quality almost Fabulous

I am a very inquisitive man who likes to travel frequently between my home in the alps and many of my other houses situated in exotic places around the world including Hong Kong, The Caribbean and South America.

This app is so easy and quick to use. There has only been one downside for me and that is having to download the languages for all of the places I go to! For example, when I went to South Africa it took a whole 30 seconds to complete. Other than that I have had a number of great experiences...

When I went to Switzerland to visit my ski lodge I found myself in a town full only German speaking natives. I was quite peckish and wanted a little bite to eat . But being home schooled I hadn’t learnt any other languages other than English. I whipped out my translate on my iPhone10(oops don’t tell anyone I have it!) to translate “hot chocolate shaken not stirred” and it worked like a charm!

Overall very good app would definitely recommend to any travellers of the trade.

It thinks that Hello in French is Bonjour! I mean who was dumb enough to allow that. It’s not even like a strange next level language like Igbo. It’s French!

I’m not saying that you should be compelled to stay away from it because it will never get anything right, I’m simply suggesting that if you are a student then you should use other apps or websites and if you are just learning a new language then use subscriptions like Babbel. However if you are just exploring around the world or visiting new places, it’s good for picking up words and phrases.

...and it’s salut.

This is so cool and really helpful

I just downloaded this app to help with my French and all the things on it are so cool. The translations are really accurate and you can write them in, speak then in and take pictures of your page. I had an essay and didn’t get one bit. It translates the words before you even take the picture so you can see the words in your chosen language on the camera!!!! This app is incredible. You can download languages for free so you can use them wherever. I would strongly recommend getting this app- so useful and so cool!!!! Even my mum said “ that is seriously cool!! I can’t believe it can do that!!!!”

Just great!

I’ve been using app to translate English to many different languages and I absolutely love it! It allows you to copy and paste which makes it way faster if you need to text someone back with an answer. Also it tells you how to pronounce words and translates from speaking! I’m amazed and I love it so far!!! Way more than you could ask from a free app!

It works well when translating from a word you’ve typed in, but my goodness is the ‘picture’ translator awful. I tried it with Japanese which failed completely. I wanted to know what a term was, but it’s rather difficult to type out the Japanese term when the keyboard on the phone is different to that of the English layout. It’s definitely something that could be improved. That being said however, it does work superbly when translating a typed term

Mind-bogglingly useful.

Use this app daily for quickly providing the translation for several languages and it’s remarkably good at what it does. You still need to check the output but Translate does really well in all the tongues I use.

I’m not generally a Google fan but this app is a work of genius which saves hours of time and although I know Google tracks and monitors my activity to monetise it — in this instance it’s worth the downside (personally).

My only gripe… No way to toggle between formal and informal case. English doesn’t have these useful subtleties but most languages do (that I know of). I know it’s easier to imagine than implement such a useful feature but it would be absolutely brilliant to skip changing vous to tu, sie to du, chi to ti etc. etc. I can always dream!

I love google translate BUT I really wish the workflow was optimised. I would wager 90% of folk boot up the app to translate their clipboard or check a single word. Unfortunately I have to tap the text box, wait for the keyboard to slide up, tap again, wait for the context menu to fade in, tap paste, possibly change the language order, and tap Go. Not to mention if I want to copy too. That’s 6-8 steps! Please make it more convenient Google! (For all devices) Otherwise an incredibly useful service.

Offline Translation Does not work in Cuba

I 100% downloaded Spanish offline translation before going to Cuba. As soon as I got to Cuba and connected to WiFi. I noticed my Translate app had removed my offline translation. At first I thought I had accidentally deleted it.

Tried to redownload but Cuba has blocked offline translator file downloads.

So I had to buy a VPN. Pretend I was in the USA and download the offline pack again.

BUT the next time I connected to Cuba Wifi. Your app removed my Spanish offline translator again!! Can you please fix your app so it stops doing this!!!!!! I really depend on the Spanish offline translation. Please fix this

Now it’s excellent

I used to hate google translate as i found it very inaccurate and idiosyncratic. This was years ago. So in the intervening time i have used many other translation services and apps, once in a while coming back to google for a check up. I recently came back to it in the last couple of months and i have to say that for the languages i use it for (English/Spanish), it is now truly excellent. Particularly if you make sure to employ your brain when using it and don’t just wholesale copy/paste. Well done google - clear and rapid progress made with this service! I think i’m going to stick with it now.

Useful now!

Actually useful to me now, I can photograph Hangul to get the translation and practice while having an idea of the meaning and if my pronunciation is accurate by the automated voice. Still room for improvement especially when it it tries to pick up words, I still have to over enunciate for it to pick it up what I'm saying, but much better over all. Keep it up 👏🏾
