Ratings and reviews

Hello, For some time now, when using Google Translate to translate Persian text to English, parts of the Persian text are shown in Finglish (Latin letters) instead of being properly translated. This issue seems to be affecting many Iranian users, and it appears to be a widespread bug. Please look into this and fix the issue. Thank you!

Not a bad application for basic use. A bit slow in translating, on rare ocassions, and translations not perfect. Due to language, grammar, syntax, etc. it can't be... no program can be. No problems. Only minor issue is conversation mode doesn't always stay active after a verbal translation, so it's difficult to, for example, give directions in a timely manner. Have to keep reactivating it. All-in-all, a good app.

It's generally a good app when used for typing, and I was excited to use it overseas, especially the conversation feature. But in reality the conversation part of the app doesn't work very well, it confuses the two languages, voice recognition does not correctly identify words, and unfortunately it crashes very often. Please fix as it would be a great feature if it worked properly!!
