Ratings and reviews

Using English to Spanish: Worked perfectly from the moment i started using it. Even tho there may be different nuances of language, depending on country, i find the translations to be quite accurate. Makes getting to know people and interact with them so much easier. -- Thank You so much to the developers of this app. But also keep aiming at Excellence, working to make improvements with the help of other reviews and AI. Thats all for now. Peace out! :)

Cam be very useful but there are some major issues. Arabic lacks the diacritic harakat (vowel) sounds. If a person needs a translation app, they likely need the fully written language. The translate image gives a "No internet connection" error, while online. Downloading the language pack, as suggested does not change that error. A nice to have would be the ability to share an image to the Translate app for translation.

During conversation mode in English->Spanish, the last part of the translated text is cut off during the read aloud. This causes many issues and I'm forced to hit the play button and have the entire translation read all over again. This has been going on for over a year. I thought it was my Pixel 6a. However, it's still happening on my Pixel 8 Pro. Please fix this. It's extremely frustrating. Update: 2 months later I'm still experiencing this. However, my friend uses an iPhone with no issues. 🤷
