Microsoft Translator

Thank you Microsoft for this helpful app, thank you Bill Gates

App is handy especially for China as a lot of apps don’t work there (like Google Translate) But I reckon there are a few things to improve: 1/It’s a bit slow. It takes a bit of time to get the translation out even when the network is good 2/For Chinese translations: when translating from Chinese to English there is no Pinyin. You have to individually click on each word of the sentence to get the pinyin it’s really not handy, something that Google Translate does better 3/ For Chinese translations: when translating from English to Chinese you have to do an extra step to get the pinyin, it’s not too bad but would be very much handier to have the pinyin in the main page 4/Image translation: works ok, but maybe 1 out of 4 times it doesn’t work which makes it not very reliable so I was using WeChat to translate images as this one is working 99% of the time

Ths converter is very nice

Easy to use

It just can’t be beaten. It separates Cantonese from Mandarin, which is AMAZING. And it gives passable translations in most languages I’ve tried. Beats google hands down.

"The text exceeded the maximum length of 1000 characters. Please use shorter text." Frustrating app. Must be doing something right to rate 4.7 but not MY favourite 'go to'. Have deleted.

Loved the app. Only flaw I felt is need to take picture to translate. There are apps like google apps which can do live translations, no need to take picture to translate If this can be fixed in future updates I will be good

I have worked with other translators but they have all developed annoying bugs. This app works perfectly and the audio voice translation is the clearest I have come across. It has all the bells and whistles with camera, conversation and very accurate voice input. As you may anticipate with a large organisation, superb and fit for purpose, well done Microsoft.

Very handy, simple to understand and use.

Frankly I’ve tried a couple of other apps including Google Translate (which seems to have no option to translate webpages) and one that did translate webpages, used Microsoft’s translation engine but still came out as gibberish. I downloaded this app simply to see if it would work and it was very readable and more importantly understandable. The site I was wanting to read was in Russian and this app worked flawlessly. Kudos Microsoft, your apps on iOS and macOS are becoming top notch.
