Ratings and reviews

The app is fantastic! it's very useful and pretty accurate! but I do recommend where when you have the translation bubble, to make an arrow between the languages or something so it could swap them around, like English to Japanese = Japanese to English. Because when I'm on an app or game to translate something or translate something back, I have to click the language and it sends you to the list, and then it freezes up on whatever you were doing, so the quick switch around would be very useful!!

The new (Beta?) "Practice" feature is really great! It helps immensely with studying situation-specific vocabulary, verb conjugations, cultural references, regional differences, & more. Plus, although the Practice feature in Translate certainly offers many scenarios in which to train your language skills, if and when you don't find a particular scenario that you would like to be coached in, it allows you to create your own scenarios tailored just for you and your needs. Superb! 💯

Google Translate is one of the most useful apps I’ve ever used, especially when dealing with different languages. The ability to translate text, voice, and even images instantly is incredibly helpful. I like how accurate it is most of the time and how many languages it supports. It’s perfect for traveling, learning new languages, or just understanding something quickly. A must-have app for everyday use.
